Overview
- A 12-year-old girl fell from the fourth floor of a residential building in Khammam and was admitted to hospital with serious bleeding and fractures after the incident on Saturday, June 6.
- The girl regained consciousness days later and told police a 49-year-old neighbour had tried to molest her before pushing her from the building.
- Khammam police arrested the 49-year-old resident and registered cases under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, and local authorities say an attempt-to-kill charge was also recorded.
- Police say the girl’s mother had told a local resident about an earlier attempted molestation by the same man about a week before the fall, though no formal complaint had been filed then.
- The victim is reported to be out of danger and remains under treatment at a local hospital while investigators collect evidence and prepare the case for prosecution under child-sensitive POCSO procedures.
