25-year-old man held for raping 3-year-old

A 25-year-old man was arrested for allegedly raping a three-year-old child of his neighbours in Begumpur, Rohini, on Monday night, police said on Wednesday.

The girl was found bleeding, in a semi-conscious state, about a kilometre from her house and was admitted to hospital for treatment. Her parents told police that she was still being treated at the hospital, but was out of danger.

A senior police officer, not wanting to be named, said the control room received a call from the girl’s mother and when they reached the spot, in Jain Nagar, the mother told them she was sleeping on a cot in front of the house when she suddenly noticed the girl missing.
