PATHANAMTHITTA: Four people were arrested in Adoor Pathanamthitta for sexually molesting a 17-year-old girl. The higher secondary student revealed the horrific details of the assault during a counselling session. After getting the news, the child line authority officials waited no time to inform the police about the crime.

According to the victim, she has been subjected to torture since her seventh standard. Based on this, the police have registered a case. The police informed that six more suspects were to be arrested in the incident. The accused are the victim’s social media friends and one distant relative.

A few days ago, a Dalit girl filed a complaint with police saying that she was gang-raped by 58 people over the years in Pathanamthitta. More than 50 accused have been arrested in the case. Police said many of the accused have been mentally torturing the girl with threats of revealing her private photos online. It is said that the accused contacted the girl through her father’s smartphone. The victim’s father had no serious understanding of the smartphone functions so depended on his daughter for help most of the time. The police have also found that the girl's phone number and nude pictures were widely circulated. The girl was molested for the first time at the age of 13.
