When his delay from the grocery was delayed, the boy's father went around looking for him in the neighbourhood.

However, the boy returned on his own.

Noticing that he was disoriented, his mother enquired about his condition. But he later told his sister on what happened.

On learning about the crime, the father lodged a report with the police.

It was then the boy said he was earlier touched by an Indian tailor in the neighbourhood.

Police arrested the Pakistani man BKM, 26, and the Indian tailor YR, 34.

However BKM said he had sex with the boy on paying Dh20.
