The Children’s Court has remanded Soham Naik, son of BJP-backed Curchorem-Cacora councillor Sushant Naik, to 14 days of judicial custody in a second case of alleged sexual assault on a minor.
Naik, 20, is facing five FIRs, four of which involve minor victims, according to police records. In the fifth case, both the complainant and the accused were adults at the time of the alleged offence.
The Crime Branch, investigating the cases, stated the accused allegedly targeted victims over a period of nearly three years. Naik, a resident of Madhegal in Cacora, was arrested on March 21 following protests outside the Curchorem Police Station, where locals had gathered demanding action in the matter.
