Woman asks neighbour's mentally challenged minor son to sexually assault his sister; case lodged
Thane, Aug 7 (PTI): A woman, in a bid to take revenge from her neighbour over their frequent quarrels, allegedly asked the latter's mentally challenged minor son to sexually assault his own younger sister in Navi Mumbai and shot its video, officials said on Thursday.
Based on a complaint by the children's mother, a First Information Report (FIR) was registered against the accused 40-year-old woman on Tuesday under sections 79 (word, gesture or act intended to insult modesty of a woman), 356(2) (defamation), 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace) and 351(2) (criminal intimidation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act sections for penetrative sexual assault, use of child for pornographic purposes and abetment, and the IT Act were also invoked against the accused, an official from Rabale police station said.
The accused and the complainant were neighbours in Ghansoli village of Navi Mumbai, he said.

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
