A 15-year-old boy who sexually assaulted his classmate is now paying for the crime after he had the audacity to slide into the girl's DMs on Instagram. A day after he forced himself on her, he sent a slew of sexual messages to the survivor, not suspecting that her mother was reading it. The worried mum then posed as the girl to get the truth out of the accused, leading to his detention.

The minor accused and the 15-year-old survivor were classmates in a prominent south Mumbai school. On July 21, the girl got a call from the accused's sister, who also studied in the same class. The sister told her that a bunch of classmates were meeting at her house to resolve some dispute. When the survivor got there, the accused's parents were not home. His sister too left the house to have dinner with relatives.
