A 15-year-old school dropout has been arrested for sodomising a 9-year-old boy. The accused had lured the Std III student by promising to treat him to pani puri.

According to the police, on Saturday, the 15-year-old was playing with the boy and his 11-year-old sister in Kurla’s Nehru Nagar area. He initially tried to get the girl to go with him, saying he would treat her to pani puri, but she refused. He then approached her younger brother.
