A 28-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly sodomising a minor boy for over a month in suburban Bandra, police said today.
The accused, identified as Irfan Salim Khan (28), a resident of Bandra, was arrested last night, after the victim's parents complained against him to the police, an official at Nirmal Nagar police station said.
The accused had lured the seven-year-old victim, who is his neighbour, to accompany him to his house in the first week of May by offering chocolates, where he forced the minor boy to indulge in "unnatural sexual acts," the official said.
Khan threatened the boy with dire consequences if he revealed anything to his parents, he said.
"Khan then began calling him at his house on different occasions and sexually abused him till June 9," he said.
After the victim informed his father, the matter was brought to the notice of Nirmal Nagar police yesterday which arrested the accused last night.
