Bhubaneswar: A minor boy was allegedly sexually harassed by a group of three senior boys at KIIT hostel here two days back. The minor boy from Rourkela had come to Bhubaneswar for attending a State-level athletic meet at KIIT university.
The Commissionerate of Police have arrested three youths allegedly involved in the incident.
The victim’s mother named three boys who belong to Rourkela, and alleged that they subjected her son to torture and sexual harassment. “Till late night, the varsity authorities were trying to strike a compromise and requested me to withdraw the police complaint. But I demand action against the trio,” she said.
The boy stated that he was asked to strip naked and then the senior applied pain balm on his private parts. “They also made a video call to someone and showed me in a naked state to the person on call,” the victim said.
DCP Dr Umashankar Dash said a case has been registered in this connection by Infocity police. “On the basis of the complaint filed by the minor boy’s mother, an investigation is on. The IIC is the investigating officer while the Zonal ACP is supervising the investigation,” said Dash.
