New Delhi: A 34-year-old man was arrested today for allegedly raping a minor girl in southwest Delhi’s Rangapahari area, police said.
The 11-year-old was allegedly raped when she had gone to relieve herself in a forest area in the locality on Wednesday, they said.
The accused, identified as Prakash, a ragpicker, was arrested from the Nala camp area this morning and will be produced in court, officials said.
The incident was reported to police yesterday, following which a case was registered, a senior officer said, adding that the minor victim was being counselled.
