Pune Father Arrested for Heinous Abuse – How the Case Came to Light
The arrest followed a formal complaint filed by the child’s mother. Based on her statement, the Kondhwa Police registered a case and immediately took the accused into custody. He is now behind bars while the investigation continues.
Police officials said the charges have been applied under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, a strict law that deals specifically with crimes against minors.
Women’s Commission Orders Fast-Track Probe
The seriousness of the case drew the immediate intervention of the Maharashtra State Women’s Commission, headed by Rupali Chakankar. The commission took suo motu cognizance—meaning it stepped in on its own—without waiting for a petition.
A letter has already been sent to the Pune Police Commissioner, directing that:
- The case must be investigated on a fast-track basis.
- A factual report has to be submitted to the commission at the earliest.
This shows how closely the case will now be monitored at the state level.
Why POCSO Matters Here
By charging the accused under POCSO, authorities have ensured the case will be tried under one of the toughest child protection laws in the country. This law not only guarantees stricter punishment but also lays down clear guidelines for protecting the survivor during the legal process.
What’s Next
At the moment, the Kondhwa Police are continuing with their investigation, while the Women’s Commission keeps a close watch. Officials have assured that all necessary steps will be taken to deliver justice quickly.
