The parents later took the boy to a counsellor following which it came to light that a relative, who used to reside in their neighbourhood, sexually assaulted the boy in September 2021, the official said.

The parents filed a police complaint on Tuesday based on which a case was registered against the accused under relevant provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the Indian Penal Code, he said.

No arrest has been made so far, the police said, adding that a probe is on into the case.
