Ganderbal: Amid massive protests in the Valley over the rape of a minor in Bandipore district, another minor has been allegedly raped in central Kashmir.
Following a complaint received on May 12, police have arrested the accused. A case has been registered under section 451 and 376 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and section 4 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO).
The accused has been identified as Mohammad Asif Wani.
"As a part of the investigation, the teenager has been medically examined. A special team has been constituted to fast-track the investigation of the case in a professional manner," Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) K Poswal told ANI.
