A British national was on Wednesday sent to 14-day judicial custody in a case of alleged sexual assault on three visually-impaired minor inmates of the National Association for the Blind (NAB) in south Delhi.
Additional Sessions Judge Ruby Alka Gupta sent the 54-year-old accused, Murray Denis Ward, to jail after the Delhi Police said his further custodial interrogation was not required.
The police said Ward had been associated with NAB as a regular donor for almost nine years and was a frequent visitor to the institute.
Paralytic attack
He was arrested for allegedly inappropriately touching three NAB inmates on September 2, the police said. Ward, a native of Gloucestershire in the United Kingdom, had been working with Sterlite Technology Limited in Gurugram till April.
He had suffered a paralytic attack in February and has been undergoing treatment since then. He was staying alone here while his family is in the UK. The police suspect that he is a paedophile.
