LUCKNOW: After the gruesome murder of a child, whose body was pulled out of a filth yard in Aligarh, the horror story continues in Uttar Pradesh over the week from Meerut, Kanpur, Jalaun, Kushinagar to Sitapur. Late Sunday, a seven-year-old girl was raped in Sitapur by her neighbour. The accused was arrested after medical examination of the minor confirmed rape on Monday.

Police said the seven-year-old survivor had gone to a wedding ceremony with her parents to a house in Sakran on Sunday evening. Around 9 pm, she was playing outside the venue and other family members were busy in wedding rituals. A 20-year-old youth, Jaiswar, lured her on the pretext of buying her candies. “He took her to a secluded place, 50m from the venue, where he raped her,” said SP Sitapur L R Kumar.
The incident came to light when the family noticed the minor was missing. “They found the accused in an inebriated state while the minor was lying on the ground, unconscious and bleeding. As they tried to nab Jaiswar, he fled the scene. Thereafter they informed police. A police team launched a night-long hunt and nabbed Jaiswar from the same village on Monday.
Kumar said Jaiswar was arrested and charged with rape and also under POCSO Act. “She was admitted to hospital where her condition is said to be stable. Jaiswar was a neighbour and had come to the same event of marriage as that of parents of the survivor,” said Kumar.
The officer also said the accused was being questioned to know the motive of his committing the offence.
