NEW DELHI: A man, aged 20, was arrested for allegedly raping and impregnating a minor girl in southwest Delhi’s Baba Haridas Nagar, police said on Sunday.The matter came to light after a medical examination showed that the girl was pregnant. “She levelled allegations against a 45-year-old mason who is a tantrik as well. The accused person was detained. However, many contradictions came up during investigation. The accused ‘tantrik’ was thus not arrested after detailed questioning,” a senior police officer said. Following an investigation, a 20-year-old man, identified as Rajveer, has been arrested in connection with the case. “He works in a factory where the girl used to visit. DNA-based investigation will be conducted in the matter,” the officer added.(The victim’s identity has not been revealed to protect her privacy as per Supreme Court directives on cases related to sexual assault)(With inputs from PTI)
