A 15-year-old boy confessed to raping a five-year-old girl in Mumbai after being brought to the Nagpada Police Station resulting in him being charged.
The girl stated that the accused gagged her and took her to a secluded spot in a school compound, where she was beaten before being raped. “It happened late in the evening,” said a police officer.
According to the Nagpada police, the offence was reported to them late on Saturday night.
