Schoolgirl, 12, sexually assaulted

The girl said when she refused, the relative pestered her and a short while later, she agreed to let him have his way. They went to another room where the assault took place.

On Saturday, the girl informed another relative about what had transpired and she was taken to the Maraval police station where a report was made. She was medically examined by a District Medical Officer and officers of the Child Protection Unit were also informed. An arrest warrant has been issued for the family member who has gone into hiding.
