New Delhi: A man has been arrested for allegedly assaulting a two-year-old girl in his neighborhood in the Bawana area of outer north Delhi, according to police officials on Tuesday.
The incident reportedly occurred on Friday and came to light when the girl’s mother returned home from work to find her daughter in distress. Upon inquiring with her elder daughter, the mother learned that a neighbor had taken the younger girl into his room.
It is alleged that the man assaulted the child, bathed her, and changed her clothes. Concerned for her daughter’s well-being, the mother examined the child and noticed swelling on her body, prompting the girl to express that she was in pain.
The mother promptly took her daughter to the hospital, where medical staff informed the police about the situation.
The accused has since been arrested and is facing charges under relevant sections of the law. Authorities are continuing to investigate the case to ensure justice is served.
