LUCKNOW: In the case of sexually assaulting a five-year-old girl in Uttar Pradesh, three people aged six, thirteen and sixteen have been arrested. It is reported that the accused are the relatives of the tenant living in the girl's house.

The incident took place on the last 16th in the Kod Valley Police Station. The police say that the trio molested the girl in the evening while playing on the terrace. Police have registered the arrest based on the complaint filed by the girl's mother. Senior police officers have reached the spot and collected information.

A similar incident took place in Uttar Pradesh last month. A seven-year-old girl was molested at a secluded place within the limits of Sadar Kotwali police station. The suspects in the incident were eight- and seven-year-old boys.

Psychological experts say that the situation where children are accused in the case of molestation should be taken seriously. They say the first thing we need to do is find out what drives children to do such things.

The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh is taking strict measures against crimes against women and children. Stricter punishments for those caught also lead to a reduction in crime.
