Rajkot Police Book Two Women for Alleged Sexual Exploitation of Minor Nephew
In a disturbing case from Rajkot, Gujarat, two women have been formally charged for allegedly sexually exploiting their 13-year-old nephew over an extended period. The accused, aged 47 and 50, are sisters of the victim's mother and face serious allegations under multiple legal provisions.
Details of the Alleged Offenses
According to police reports, the alleged exploitation occurred between June 8, 2025, and March 26, 2026. The complaint was filed by the victim's father, a businessman residing in Nashik, Maharashtra. Initially registered as a Zero FIR in Nashik, the case was subsequently transferred to Rajkot authorities for investigation.
The father's complaint provides harrowing details of the alleged abuse. When the boy visited his maternal grandparents' house in Rajkot's Mota Mauva area, his aunts reportedly kept him back. The complaint alleges they:
- Showed the minor obscene pictures of naked women to arouse him
- Incited his sexual desires through inappropriate behavior
- Forcibly kissed him on the lips on multiple occasions
- Inappropriately touched his private parts
- Threatened him to prevent disclosure of the incidents
Legal Framework and Police Action
Rajkot Taluka police station has registered a comprehensive case against the accused women. The charges include:
- Criminal intimidation and causing hurt under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita
- Sexual assault and sexual harassment under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act
Inspector S R Meghani of Rajkot Taluka police station confirmed the registration of the offense. "Based on the complaint received from Nashik, we have registered an offence against the accused and begun an investigation," Meghani stated to media sources.
Geographical and Familial Context
The case spans multiple locations, adding complexity to the investigation. While the victim's father resides in Nashik, the alleged incidents occurred in Rajkot where:
- The two accused aunts live in different areas of Rajkot city
- The boy's maternal grandparents maintain a residence in the Mota Mauva locality
- The transfer of the Zero FIR from Nashik to Rajkot demonstrates inter-district coordination
This case highlights the vulnerability of children during family visits and the importance of vigilance even within extended family networks. The POCSO Act's stringent provisions are being invoked to ensure thorough investigation and appropriate legal action.
Police investigations are ongoing as authorities work to gather evidence and establish the complete timeline of alleged events. The case serves as a sobering reminder of the need for child protection mechanisms and prompt reporting of suspected abuse.
