JJB directs minor to serve water at railway station for month for assaulting scheduled caste person

Assistant Public Prosecutor Himanshu Singh said, “The Board passed the judgment two days back after the minor confessed to the crime. The board directed the boy to undertake community service by serving water to people at the Orai railway station in Jalaun during working hours. Additionally, the board imposed a fine of Rs 7,600.”

He further said, “The boy has also been directed to report daily at the RPF office at Jalaun.”

According to the public prosecutor, the incident dates back to 2020 when the boy was booked for forcibly entering his neighbour’s residence and assaulting him.

Further, he is alleged to have made casteist remarks against the victim. The police conducted an investigation and found the allegations to be true. As the boy was found to be a minor, the police submitted their report to the Juvenile Justice Board, which has been presiding over the case since then.
