SHILLONG: Police are now registering a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (POCSO) against Jimmy Carter Sangma, a medical doctor, who is presently behind bars for abducting a teenage schoolgirl from Tura and sexually assaulting her.
Following conformation that there was aggravated rape on the minor girl, police have decided to register a case under POSCO against the medical doctor.
Sources informed that the girl’s statement was being recorded by the Investigation Officer in Tura and the accused has also been transferred to Tura from Shillong where he was arrested.
It may be mentioned that the medical doctor, who is allegedly close to jailed GNLA chairman Champion R Sangma, was arrested by Shillong Police on Saturday afternoon after an alert from Tura Police that the doctor had kidnapped the 14-year-old girl from Montfort School in Tura after luring her away on the pretext of dropping her off to her home in the town on Friday afternoon.
