New Delhi: A retired lieutenant colonel was arrested for allegedly molesting an eight-year-old girl in Dwarka, the police said today.
The girl and the 70-year-old accused used to stay in the same apartment building in Dwarka. On the evening of June 11, the accused had inappropriately touched the child while they were in an elevator, a police official said.
