A 22-year-old youth was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a minor girl in northeast Delhi, police said. The incident took place on Sunday afternoon when the seven-year-old had gone to play at her neighbour's house, they said.
The girl was playing outside when her friend's uncle allegedly lured her to a bathroom and sexually assaulted her, the police said on Monday.
When the girl returned home, she narrated the incident to her parents who approached the police and a case was registered under relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, a senior officer said.
"Based on the complaint, we registered a case under POCSO Act and arrested the accused the same day," he said.
