Man attempts suicide as Mumbai police reach his home to arrest him in Pocso case
A 55-year-old man allegedly attempted suicide when a Mumbai police team went to his home at Badlapur in Thane on Tuesday night to arrest him for allegedly sexually assaulting the minor daughter of a bedridden man he had been hired to take care of. A police officer investigating the sexual assault case said on Thursday, 'The man was immediately rushed to the nearby private hospital, where he lay unconscious for almost 36 hours, and currently his condition is stable.' The minor girl's father suffered a paralytic attack last year. The accused, who was hired in May to look after the minor girl's father from 8 am to 8 pm, would sexually assault her and also make obscene remarks after her mother left for work, according to the police complaint in the case. He allegedly kept harassing the girl despite being warned by her mother. The minor girl and her mother decided to complain to the police after the man allegedly harassed the girl in her bedroom on July 28. The police booked him under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act on July 29. On learning about the FIR registered against him, the accused fled from Mumbai and went to Uttar Pradesh first and Karnataka later, according to the police. On Tuesday, the police could trace the man's location to Badlapur, and a team comprising two assistant police inspectors and three to four constables reached there. At around 10 pm, the man closed the door of his house from inside, threatening to kill himself. Although the police tried to console him, he allegedly attempted suicide. The police then broke open the door and rushed him to the hospital, said an officer who was part of the investigation.
