Two minor girls were raped in South Delhi areas between Monday and Tuesday, the police said.

The first crime took place in Govindpuri area on Monday evening in which a six-year-old girl was allegedly kidnapped and raped by an unidentified man. The man later left her outside her home and fled.

A senior police officer said that the crime came to light early Tuesday morning when the girl’s parents approached the police and informed about the crime. A police team reached the girl’s home and learnt that on Monday evening, she was playing with her friends at Navjeevan Camp Park when a man lured her to an unknown place on the pretext of giving her chocolates.

The girl narrated the entire incident to her mother, who in turn informed her husband. A complaint was filed on Tuesday. “The girl was sent to AIIMS hospital for treatment. During the medical checkup, allegation was corroborated and accordingly a case was registered,” said Baaniya.
