On Saturday (8th June), the father of a 6-year-old child lodged a complaint at the police station stating that on the day of the incident, his child was playing outside the house with his friends. At that time, Armaan, who is also from the same village, approached them. He coaxed the victim and took him to the riverbank. At a deserted place, Armaan sexually assaulted the minor victim.
