THE NEXT day, the child was handed over to the Naranpura police. But before that, the constables threatened the child. He was cautioned by the culprits against saying anything about what had happened during the three-day torture session. The constables told the boy that if he told anything about the sexual act or the torture session in the court, then they will get his father framed in some bootlegging case.

METROPOLITAN MAGISTRATE D S Trivedi probed these accusation under CrPC 202. The magistrate spoke to the child, his father Prakash Parmar and doctor harshad Rathod who had examined the boy. An identification parade was also conducted in which the child identified all three of the constables.
