In the video, the DCP said that an official complaint was filed by the girl’s father and officials at the Waliv police station, registering a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Act.
The police commissioner said a medical examination was conducted, the victim’s statement was taken and a case was registered against the actor on these grounds. He claimed that the victim’s mother used to work on the sets of the TV show and hence, the victim used to accompany her which led to the meeting of Pearl V Puri and the victim.
A few years back, a minor girl had filed a case against the actor alleging that Pearl sexually assaulted her on the pretext of getting her TV work.
