A 21-year-old man was arrested for allegedly raping a seven-year-old girl in Shahdara's Seemapuri area, police said on Tuesday. The incident took place on Monday night, they added. In a statement to the police, the victim's mother alleged that her daughter was raped by a neighbour. The girl was playing outside her residence at around 10.30 pm on Monday when the accused took her to the bushes near the DLF chowk and raped her, a senior police officer said. The victim was bleeding when she returned home. On being questioned by her mother, she narrated her ordeal. Based on a complaint filed by the victim's mother, a case was registered at the Seemapuri police station under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, the police said. Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) Chairperson Swati Maliwal tweeted about the incident. She said the accused took the girl to a park, inserted a water pipe into her private parts and then raped her. However, the police said according to the lady doctor who examined the victim, her condition was stable and no foreign object was inserted into her private parts.

"Cannot describe the pain the little girl was experiencing. Already malnourished, she has a long struggle ahead.
