Nagpur: A 19-year-old man has been booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act after a 17-year-old girl allegedly became pregnant following a sexual relationship at a private cabin of a café in Nagpur.

According to the police, the accused, identified as Sameer Khan (19), and the minor girl had known each other since 2024. Their friendship allegedly developed into a relationship.
