Visak Rajesh Leela received a three-year suspended sentence for attempted abduction at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 28 April 2025.

The court heard that he ran after a five-year-old boy at a north Dublin apartment complex in September 2024 and pushed him outside; the boy’s sister intervened.

Judge Martin Nolan ordered Leela to leave Ireland within two weeks and not return for 10 years.

The judge said Leela was at low risk of reoffending and did not consider him a danger to children.
