Minor Girl Sexually Assaulted at Crime Branch Office in Goa; Female Aide, Cop Booked Under POCSO
Police said the case was filed under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the POCSO Act, and both accused remain unarrested.
On Saturday, North Goa police booked Inspector Vikas Deykar and Ranjini Palyekar for allegedly sexually assaulting a minor girl on multiple occasions inside the Crime Branch's Ribandar police station.
The minor visited the Crime Branch office to pursue a cyber crime complaint filed a few months ago, leading Deykar to summon her to the station for questioning.
During questioning on July 25 and October 27, Deykar allegedly misbehaved, asked the victim to remove her clothes, and touched her inappropriately, police said.
Police registered an FIR under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and POCSO Act, charging sections 75 and 127, as the Old Goa police station probes the case.
Investigators are continuing the probe and will summon the accused inspector; authorities confirmed neither Deykar nor Palyekar have been arrested yet.
