Reports have indicated that the girl and her family were working as domestic help in O M George’s house. Authorities were alerted about the incident after the girl allegedly tried to commit suicide last week. Following this, she narrated her ordeal to the parents who approached the police.

The girl’s mobile phone is said to have relevant information about the case and the police are said to be going through its contents. The police have also taken the statements of the parents in this regard.

The Congress leader is now being booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO).

The Congress leader now accused of sexual assault has also reportedly tried to ‘settle’ the case with the police, but to avail so far.

While Rahul Gandhi talks tall on ‘women empowerment’ and the ‘rights and dignity of women’, this is not the first time that such shocking incidents have come to light involving Congress functionaries. A former Kerala Chief Minister from Congress was named in a rape case in October 2018 and youth congress workers were accused of molestation during the Kathua and Unnao rape protests, among several other cases.
