The convicted person has been identified as Vinod of Maroli.
According to the charge sheet, the incident took place in May 2017 when the parents had left their child at a neighbor’s house while they went to work. Vinod, who lived in the same locality, took advantage of the situation and took the child to his house and tried to sexually assault the child.
