East Delhi’s #Ghazipur. A 28-year-old man Sajid hired to paint a house, has been arrested on Monday for raping a seven-year-old girl.

The incident occurred on Monday afternoon when the accused, identified as Sajid, was painting the house.

The girl’s mother stepped out to buy some groceries, leaving the child alone with Sajid.

According to the police, Sajid sexually assaulted the child in the absence of any adult in the house at that time.

The mother returned home and allegedly found Sajid assaulting the child, following which she restrained him and raised an alarm. However, the suspect managed to free himself and flee before the police arrived.

@PMOIndia is hesitant & afraid of even uttering CHINA's name? [1/n]

After 45 years China killed 20 of our soldiers & govt has insulted their supreme sacrifice. India cannot even patrol at the place where they were killed. China has occupied our territory in Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh & Sikkim and @PMOIndia is afraid of even raising the issue 2/n

#मैं_आंदोलनजीवी_हूँ & I'm proud of it. Instead of constructing defensive border infrastructure in Arunachal, Sikkim & Ladakh, the govt has built it in #Singhu, #Ghazipur & #Tikri. Treatment ideally meant for Chinese soldiers is being meted out on protesting Indian farmers 3/n
