Police stated that the stepmother’s behaviour changed shortly after she assumed guardianship. She allegedly began pressuring the minor into establishing a physical relationship. Whenever the 17-year-old resisted her advances, he was subjected to physical assault and verbal abuse.

To force his compliance, the accused stepmother allegedly threatened to frame the minor in a false legal case and have him sent to jail if he continued to oppose her demands.

Terrified and deeply distressed by the continuous harassment, the victim eventually fled to his maternal aunt (mausi) and narrated the entire ordeal. When the aunt confronted the stepmother regarding the allegations, the accused reportedly hurled abuses at her as well.

Taking immediate action, the aunt took the youth to the Tehsil Police Station and lodged a formal complaint. Taking strict cognizance of the survivor’s minor status, the police have registered a criminal case against the stepmother under the relevant sections of the law and are currently conducting further investigations into the matter.
