" Priest Arrested for Alleged Molestation"
An incident has come to light in Rhenock, Pakyong District, where a 16-year-old girl has accused the temple priest of molestation. According to the FIR filed by the victim, the incident occurred on February 24, 2025, at around 7:00 am, when she visited the local temple to offer prayers.
The victim alleged that while she was pouring milk on the Shivalinga, the priest instructed her to pour water from a kettle, and while she was doing so, he grabbed her from behind and touched her inappropriately. The minor victim felt uneasy and quickly left the temple, later narrating the incident to her mother.
The police have taken swift action, arresting the accused priest and completing all legal formalities. The case is currently under investigation under sections 7 and 8 of the POCSO Act 2012.
