Mumbai, May 23 -- Mumbai police have detained two teenage boys for allegedly molesting a 16-year-old girl with autism spectrum disorder, officials said on Friday.
The incident, which reportedly occurred about a month ago near a government hospital in central Mumbai, came to light recently during the girl's therapy session, when she disclosed the details to her therapist.
According to police, the girl is the only child of a single mother who works at a beauty parlour.
Her father separated from the family several years ago. The complainant told authorities that, due to work commitments, she often has to leave her daughter alone at home and has sometimes found her wandering in areas far from their residence, such as Santacruz and Nagpada.
