A 4-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her 30-year-old cousin in the Chawani Ramchanderapura area in Kota, police said.

Ranjeet, a resident of Chawani Ramchandera Pura, took the girl from his neighbourhood to a nearby college ground on the pretext of giving her chocolates and raped her there behind the bushes, said Station House Officer of Vigyan Nagar police station Amar Singh Rathor.
A passerby heard the cries of the minor girl and saw that the accused was beating her to stop her cries, said SHO Rathor, adding that the passerby then called the police and some of his friends.
A medical test has been conducted on the victim, but the report is awaited, said SHO Rathor.
A medical test was also conducted on the accused as he was in a drunken state at time of his arrest and was beaten by people who had gathered there.
A case has been registered on the complaint of the passerby who had informed the police, Mr Rathor said.
The victim lives with her grandmother as her parents, who are daily wages labourers and work in Jaipur, police said.

In the complaint, the victim has alleged that on September 29, Ali's wife Farida, who is her friend, took her to their house on the pretext of providing her an accommodation.
