[POCSO Act] Trying To Grope Victim's Breast Doesn't Fall Under Definition Of Attempted Rape: Calcutta High Court

Calcutta High Court ruled that trying to grope a victim's breast does not fall under the definition of attempted rape under the POCSO Act. The court distinguished between the specific offenses defined under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, categorizing the act of attempted groping as a form of sexual assault but not equivalent to an attempt to commit rape, which involves a different level of physical and sexual intrusion as defined by the law. This ruling clarifies the nuanced legal definitions within the POCSO Act for different types of sexual offenses against children.
