Priest Arrested For Allegedly Sexually Abusing a 10-Year-Old Girl

Bengaluru police has arrested a 68-year-old man for allegedly sexually abusing a minor girl.

Resident of Bagepalli, Venkataramanappa was held on Wednesday, the police said. He used to work as the priest at a local temple and had gone to his daughter's house on Tuesday.

As his daughter and her husband, who are also temple priests in Devanahalli were out of town, they had requested Venkataramanappa to perform the prayers on Tuesday evening.

A 10-year-old girl who lived in the same neighbourhood had gone near the couple's house to play.
