Child Welfare body member molests 16-year-old boy in Telangana
Â
Krishna, the accused member of the CWC, was given the responsibility of shifting the boy, who had been rescued and put up at Saidabad children's home, to Kukatpally here a few days ago, they said.
Â
"However, instead of taking the boy to Kukatpally children's home here, he took him to some other place and sexually assaulted the teen," KPHB police station Inspector Ch Kushalkar said.
Â
A case under relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act has been registered against Krishna and a hunt has been launched to nab him, the inspector said.
Â
CWC is a quasi-judicial body appointed by the Women and Child Welfare Department under the Juvenile Justice Act. Further investigation into the case is on.
