The arrest was made by the local police following a complaint filed by the victim's family. The accused was later produced before a magistrate and remanded to judicial custody.
Details of the Case
According to police sources, the incident came to light when the victim's family approached the authorities with allegations of sexual misconduct against the minor.

The accused has been sent to judicial custody pending further investigation.

Meanwhile, Bandi Sanjay has maintained a cautious stance, stating that he respects the legal process and expects justice to prevail. The case is likely to have implications for the upcoming elections in the state.
Legal Proceedings
