In Jalandhar, the Nakodar Sadar police charged Som Lal alias Sodhi, a resident of Khunn Khunn village, for attempting to rape a minor. The incident took place in the morning of November 8 when the accused allegedly entered the house of the victim’s grandfather and tried to assault his granddaughter. A case has been registered under sections of the IPC and the Prevention of Child Sexual Offenses Act and efforts are on to arrest the absconding accused.
