Delhi boy, 14, forced to perform ‘unnatural sex’, lick shoes by friends; 3 detained

A 14-year-old boy was allegedly made to lick shoes and perform “unnatural sex” on three of his friends.

Who also recorded the act and sent it to his mother, according to a report by news agency PTI. The incident took place in the posh Hauz Khas area in south Delhi on Sunday when the boy was on his way home after playing at Central Park in Connaught Place, police said.

He was returning home at around 6.30 pm when three of his friends, aged between 12 and 14 years, forced him to go with them to an isolated place. “One of the accused pointed a vegetable knife and put his private part in his (the complainant) mouth. The trio also captured that act on their mobile phone,” police said.

The video was posted on Instagram and showed the boy being made to crouch at knife point, while his “friends” made him lick their shoes and then forced him to perform an “unnatural act”, PTI quoted police as saying.

The accused also threatened the boy with dire consequences if he told anyone about the act and, out of fear, he did not tell his parents about the incident.

However, one of the three accused sent the video of the act to the boy’s mother, who then approached the local police on Sunday.

Police took the boy for a medical exam and then to counselling.

On the basis of the boy’s statement, a case under sections 377 (unnatural sex) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and 12 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act has been registered at the Hauz Khas Police Station.

The three accused have been apprehended and are being questioned, police said.
