A 37-year-old man has been arrested by the Mumbai police for allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl.
While playing, the victim went near the accused’s house who lured her with food and raped her, reported news agency, ANI.
“When the girl narrated the incident to her mother, she complained to the Malvani police,” said a cop to the news agency.
A case is registered against the accused under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Earlier this year, a 16-year-old girl’s male friend and her father were arrested on the charge of raping her and making her pregnant, an official said.
The official from Tilak Nagar police station in Chembur said that the teenager was friends with a 32-year-old man from her locality.
The man raped her in the last week of February saying he would marry her. Later, she was sexually assaulted by her 41-year-old father at her own home, the official said.
The survivor told the police that she was too traumatised to talk about the sexual abuse then, he said.
The rape came to light after the girl recently complained of stomach pain, prompting her mother to take her to the civic-run Rajawadi Hospital.
The mother was stunned when doctors told her that the minor was pregnant. After being counselled, she told the doctors that she had been raped by her father and friend.
The hospital alerted the Tilak Nagar police about the sexual assault following which a case was registered against the two under the Indian Penal Code and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
