Allahabad High Court ruled that grabbing a minor girl’s breasts, breaking her pyjama strings, and trying to drag her beneath the culvert is not enough to charge an accused with the offence of rape or an attempt to rape. It described such an act as 'aggravated sexual assault’, TOI reported. Making this observation, the high court modified a summoning order, altering the charges against two accused. The accused were earlier summoned to face trail under section 376 (rape) and under the POCSO Act. However, now the accused will be tried under the section 354(B) IPC (assault or use of criminal force with intent to disrobe) and POCSO Act (aggravated sexual assault). «The allegations levelled against the accused Pawan and Akash and the facts of the case hardly constitute an offence of attempt to rape in the case.

The difference between preparation and actual attempt to commit an offence consists chiefly in the greater degree of determination,” a bench of Justice Ram Manohar Narayan Mishra observed, as it partly allowed the criminal revision plea filed by the three accused. As per the prosecution, the accused Pawan and Akash grabbed the breasts of the 11-year-old victim and one of them broke the string of her pyjama and tried to drag her beneath the culvert.
