-------------------------------- Sancorda boy molested ------------------------------- 27 year-old man from Navawada-Sancorda has been accused of paedophilia, after he allegedly molested a school boy at Sancorda, Collem police said. According to police reports, the parents of the school boy had invited the accused, Dinanath Shankar Sawant, on August 14 to supervise their son's singing rehearsals, as he was to participate in a contest at the school on Independence Day.
As the rehearsal ended late in the evening, Dinanath requested the parents to permit him to spend the night at their residence in Sancorda.The parents agreed to the request and even asked their son to accompany Dinanath to the bedroom.
As the boy was asleep, Dinanath allegedly began to fondle the boy's private parts.
The boy woke up in pain and reported the matter to the parents.The parents took
serious note of the incident, but did not report the matter to the Collem police
for the next two days.
But when the boy continued to feel the pain in his genital area, the parents took
their son to the doctor and on August 16, lodged a police complaint.
Taking opportunity of the two-day delay in filing of the complaint, the accused disappeared from the area and is absconding. Collem police is on the lookout for the accused, as investigations are in progress. ------------------------------------------ HERALD 19/8/03 page 1 ----------------------------------------- ======================================= GOA DESC RESOURCE CENTRE Documentation + Education + Solidarity 11 Liberty Apts., Feira Alta, Mapusa, Goa 403 507 Tel: 2252660 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] website: www.goadesc.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Working On Issues Of Development & Democracy =======================================
