New Delhi:
A 15-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her neighbour in New Ashok Nagar area of East Delhi, police said on Friday.
The police said the incident took place on Thursday morning and a 24-year-old man Raju has been arrested. Raju is a BCom student at a private college, cops said.
"The victim was on her way to school when Raju offered to drop her on his bike. As Raju was known to the girl, she agreed. But instead of dropping her at the school, he took her to a secluded area where he allegedly raped her," a senior police officer said.
After committing the crime, Raju dropped her outside her school and fled. He also threatened her of dire consequence if she revealed about the incident to anyone.
"The girl, however, told her parents about her ordeal who then informed the matter to the police. A case under relevant sections has been registered against the accused," the officer added.
