A 15-year-old boy detained for sexually assaulting a girl of the same age was released on February 29, as both will appear for the SSC exam this week. The cops said that the teenagers were in a consensual relationship, as a result of which the girl got pregnant.
The Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) had taken up the case on priority after learning the age of the boy and girl and that they were Std X students. It has also counselled the parents of both to ensure they are not distracted while preparing for the exam and refrain from taunting them or mentioning their situation repeatedly.
