The police recently arrested a 24-year-old man for sexually assaulting his minor stepdaughter and branding her with a hot iron all over her body. The Srirangam all-women police arrested the man on charges of sexual assault of a child below 12 years of age and causing bodily harm, under the POCSO Act and Juvenile Justice Act, a Times of India report read.

A few neighbours also made the girl narrate her ordeal and show her injuries, and recorded a video. They later sent the video to the police on social media and it went viral.
