  "account": "Two 17-year-old girls were sexually assaulted at a party in Balanagar on October 1 after being coerced into drinking alcohol, according to police. The incident led to the registration of a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act against two individuals. One suspect, Ganesh, 19, had a relationship with one of the victims and invited her to the party. The other suspect, Tarun, 26, who is married, was also present. After taking the girls to the venue, the suspects allegedly made them consume one beer each before sexually assaulting them. One of the victims later fell ill and was taken to a hospital where suspicions of sexual assault arose. The girls disclosed the incident to the police, and their statements were recorded at a Bharosa Centre. Both victims were hospitalized following the assault, and their complaint led to the registration of the POCSO case. The investigation is being conducted by the Balanagar police due to jurisdictional reasons.",
