Mumbai: A man from eastern suburbs of Mumbai was arrested on charges of sexually assaulting his wife’s 10-year-old niece when she was alone on the day of voting for Lok Sabha elections in May, officials said here on Monday.
The accused was presented in a Special Court for Protection of Children against Sexual Offences Act which sent him to police remand for a week, police said.
On Saturday, the girl's mother, who lives in Thane, told her that they would be going to her aunt's place again for a birthday but she got scared and revealed her ordeal to her mother.
