All Women Police, Avadi, has arrested a CRPF constable on charges of sexually assaulting a minor girl.
According to the police, the girl is 13 years old and studying in Class 8. She was walking home after a karate class conducted at a CRPF jawan’s residence when she was followed by the accused Suresh Kumar, 42, a CRPF constable. He allegedly molested her in a dark, isolated area, the police said. Though she could not see his face clearly, she defended herself, struck him, and scratched his face before managing to escape, the police said.
The girl informed her parents, who filed a complaint with the Avadi All Women Police Station. The girl told police about the facial injury she had inflicted, which became a crucial clue, the police said.
The police identified the suspect Suresh Kumar, who had visible scratch marks on his face. A case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act was registered. He was arrested from the CRPF campus, produced before a magistrate, and remanded in judicial custody.
