A bizarre case has come to light at the Chhattisgarh State Women’s Commission. A 28-year-old woman from Raipur has accused a 17-year-old minor boy from Balodabazar of sexual exploitation. In her complaint to the commission, the woman demanded a compensation of 50 lakh rupees and also expressed her desire to marry the boy.
The hearing of the case took place in the presence of the commission’s chairperson, Kiran Mai Nayak. During the hearing, documents related to the teenager’s school, birth certificate, and Aadhaar card were presented before the commission, which made it clear that the accused boy is currently 17 years old and a minor. On this basis, the commission considered that the matter was outside the jurisdiction of the Women’s Commission and it would be appropriate to send it to the Child Protection Commission.
Two months ago, a complaint was filed against the woman in the Child Protection Commission by the minor’s father. When questioned by the commission, the woman stated that she was 28 years old and also mentioned that she was initially unaware that the boy was a minor. According to the woman, she found out about the boy’s actual age in February when she went to the Purani Basti police station in Raipur.
According to the information, the boy is a resident of Balodabazar and had come to Raipur to play cricket. There, he met this woman, and love developed between the two. It is alleged that during this time, physical relations also occurred. Later, the woman filed a complaint with the commission alleging that the boy had sexually exploited her and that she should now receive a compensation of 50 lakh rupees. She also expressed her desire to marry the boy.
What did the Women’s Commission say?
However, after carefully listening to the woman’s claims, the commission made it clear that since the boy is a minor, the Women’s Commission cannot dispose of this case. All documents related to the case will be sent to the Child Protection Commission, and further action will be taken from there.
During the hearing, the commission reprimanded the woman, stating that she had relationships with a minor and was later demanding marriage and compensation. The commission called this inappropriate behavior. The woman clarified that she did not know the boy’s age earlier, and she realized the situation only after this fact came to light.
This case has now been sent to the Child Protection Commission. The commission clarified that considering the age of the minor, it is beyond the purview of the Women’s Commission to decide on such allegations and disputes. Further investigation and resolution of this case will now be done by the Child Protection Commission.
