The Story in Brief
A 20-year-old Mumbai student accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl has demanded pizza, soft bedding and mosquito repellent in a Nagpur lock-up, police told PTI, according to Hindustan Times. Police arrested Nirmay Madhav Pakhare on Monday after breaking into a rented room in Dighori around 11pm and rescuing the girl, who was found with her hands and legs tied. She had injury marks and was admitted to hospital.
Police allege Pakhare used a fake Instagram account to befriend the girl, blackmailed her over private photographs and assaulted her at a hotel before keeping her captive. The girl had been reported missing on August 2. Pakhare faces charges under the POCSO Act and for kidnapping, and was remanded to two days in police custody. Police are examining both phones and social media accounts.
The Indian Opinion
The pizza detail invites easy outrage, but jail conditions should follow rules, not public anger. The larger danger is the lazy claim that every online friendship is inherently suspect, or that a teenager’s private photographs lessen an accused person’s responsibility. The case must turn on evidence, including digital records, medical findings and witness accounts. The test is whether investigators preserve the phones and complete a lawful charge sheet within the applicable process.
