In two separate incidents, a three-year-old and a four-year-old girl was allegedly raped in Delhi.
A four-year-old girl was allegedly raped by the landlord of her house in southwest Delhi's Sagarpur area.
The incident came to light on Friday, following which the girl's parents approached the police and the 35-year-old accused was arrested, a senior police official said.
The girl's father works with an airline company and mother at a hospital. The girl complained of severe stomach ache on Friday following which she was taken to a doctor and sexual assault was confirmed.
She later told her mother that the accused lured her to his residence and allegedly forced himself upon her. He also threatened her with dire consequences if she spoke about the incident to anyone, police said.
In another incident, a three-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her 35-year-old neighbour at a slum cluster in northwest Delhi's Adarsh Nagar area on Friday, police said.
The accused allegedly forced himself upon the girl. The people living in the cluster were alerted after they heard the girl's scream and overpowered the accused, who was later handed over to the police, a senior official said.
In both cases, the accused were arrested under the relevant sections of Indian Penal Code and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
