A troop of monkeys allegedly intervened to defend a 6-year-old girl, a UKG student, from a rape attempt in Baghpat. Following her parents' complaint, the unidentified accused was charged under the Pocso Act and is currently on the run, police said on Sunday.?
The girl's parents stated that on Saturday, a guy led their child to an abandoned house, where he took off her clothes and attempted to sexually abuse her, when a few monkeys violently came towards him, compelling him to release the minor and flee.?
After returning home, the traumatized child told her family about her incident and how the monkeys "saved her from the accused".
In a TOI report, her father said, "My daughter was playing outside when the accused took her away. The man could be seen in nearby CCTV footage, walking on a narrow lane with my daughter. He is yet to be identified though. He also threatened my child that he would kill me... My daughter would have been dead by now if the monkeys had not intervened."?
Baghpat Circle officer Harish Bhadoria told TOI: "We've heard about the incident involving monkeys and are investigating the matter. Following the parents' complaint, an FIR was registered under BNS sections 74 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 76 (assault or use of criminal force to woman with intent to disrobe) and the Pocso Act. More sections will be added if needed. We're trying to identify and nab?the?accused."?
