Police are trying to ascertain if Ronnie had assaulted more girls in and around the transit camp.
Police on Thursday said a 20-year-old man, who was arrested for the alleged rape of a four-year-old girl at a transit camp in Chanakyapuri area in Delhi last week, allegedly sexually assaulted at least four other girls at the same place.
Ronnie sexually assaulted at least four other girls, aged between 10 and 12 years, residing at the transit camp. He was arrested only after his latest victim, the four-year-old daughter of a neighbour, reported the matter to her parents, who raised an alarm, they said.
During interrogation, Ronnie made certain disclosures and when police teams, comprising women, were sent to the transit camp to talk to people there, four unreported cases emerged, police said.
"The accused has now been booked in four fresh cases under POCSO Act," DCP (New Delhi) Jatin Narwal said.
