New Delhi: A 15-year-old girl was allegedly raped in east Delhi's Pandav Nagar area with the accused in the case suspected to be a minor, police said today.
The accused, a resident of a slum cluster in Shashi Garden area, has been arrested by police, said an official.
According to police, the incident was reported yesterday evening when the girl was returning from a visit to the grocer's shop.
On her way back, scared by a pack of stray dogs, she tried to hide behind some bushes near a temple when the accused pulled the girl inside his shanty, police said. The shack was close to the spot where the girl was hiding, they added.
The boy, who was allegedly following the girl, took advantage of the situation to drag her inside his shanty and force himself upon her, said the official.
Her relatives approached police after she returned home and told her mother of her ordeal. She was subsequently taken for a medical examination, which confirmed rape, said the official.
Police registered a case and the accused was apprehended from his house immediately. Police said it was found that the accused is addicted to drugs and often created ruckus in his slum cluster.
