An alleged attack on a female prisoner at a state-run dormitory has prompted Thane cops to launch an investigation. Based on a video complaint that representatives from the District Woman and Child Welfare Department received, the police filed a formal report (FIR), according to a PTI report.
The complaint states that a junior caretaker allegedly forced another girl to massage her legs, and a senior caretaker allegedly sexually assaulted a 16-year-old hostel resident in Ulhasnagar. The girls said that if they didn't agree with their demands, the carers threatened to send them to the Bhiwandi detention home, the PTI report further stated.
