PUNE: The Vishrantwadi police on Thursday arrested a 30-year-old man from Dhanori for raping an eight-year-old neighbour on Monday afternoon.
The suspect, a labourer, has been arrested under section 376 (rape) of the Indian Penal Code and relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
An officer from the Vishrantwadi police said the girl was playing outside her house in Dhanori. The suspect invited her to his house under the pretext of playing. "When the girl went inside, the suspect raped her," the officer said.
The officer said the suspect had threatened the girl that if she revealed the incident to her mother or any other relative, he would do the same with them too. "The terrified girl did not inform her mother initially. On Thursday, when the suspect again tried to harass the girl, she informed her mother. She also narrated the earlier incident."
The girl's mother immediately lodged a complaint. "Our probe is on," the officer said.
In another case, the Sahakarnagar police on Wednesday booked a 20-year-old youth for raping a minor girl on the promise of marriage.
The incident came to light when the girl became pregnant, police said.
The suspect has been booked under section 376 (rape) of the IPC and the relevant sections of (POCSO) Act.
