The Story in Brief
Kerala Police have filed seven FIRs under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act after a Class 10 girl in Pathanamthitta disclosed alleged abuse to friends. Six cases were registered by Malayalapuzha police and one by Perunad police. The alleged incidents reportedly took place at different times since she was in Class 5.
Two people, including the owner of her rented house, have been arrested. Five others were booked, including her father, who is abroad. One accused has died. Police have completed the girl’s medical examination and a magistrate has recorded her statement. The investigation is being supervised by the district police chief.
The Indian Opinion
The FIRs, arrests, medical examination and magistrate’s statement are investigative steps, not proof of guilt. Public details about the allegations remain limited, so firm conclusions would be premature. Reporting arrests as final findings can create a one-sided impression. At the same time, references to separate false complaints should not be used to cast doubt on every child’s disclosure. The legal process should establish the facts.
