In a disturbing incident in Lakhimpur Kheri district, Uttar Pradesh, India, a six-year-old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted by Ram Jivan, a 34-year-old man from her village. The assault took place on Tuesday evening when Jivan lured the girl to a secluded area while she was playing outside her home. Following the report of the assault, a joint police team, including the Sadar Kotwali police and SWAT unit, quickly mobilized to apprehend the suspect. Late on Tuesday night, they located Jivan near the Sharda canal on the Ravhi-Saraicha road. During the encounter, Jivan opened fire at the police, resulting in a retaliatory response that injured him in the leg. He was subsequently arrested, and a country-made pistol along with cartridges was seized from him. Jivan faces multiple charges, including attempted murder under Section 109(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and sexual assault under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act.
