Videos circulating on social media have allegedly shown the mother and sister of an 18-year-old man asking a minor girl to withdraw her complaint after he was arrested for assaulting her at a Garba event in Nalasopara, Maharashtra. The incident involved Gufran Shaikh, who was seen slapping a 17-year-old girl in a video. According to the police, the two knew each other, but the girl had stopped speaking to him. Shaikh allegedly dragged the girl out of a Garba pandal and assaulted her while bystanders watched. After the video surfaced, police registered a case and arrested him under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Following the arrest, another video allegedly showed Shaikh’s sister assuring the girl that her brother would not trouble her again. In a subsequent phone call, his mother was heard pleading with the girl to withdraw her complaint, saying, “Please take the case back… If you don’t, both your lives will be destroyed.”
