Nagpur: A 5-year old girl was raped by a pervert man who lured her with chocolate, under the jurisdiction of Jaripatka police station, on Saturday. Enraged by the heinous incident, the locals gathered near the house of the accused to teach him a lesson. However, he managed to flee the spot. Later, the police arrested him from Mominpura with the help of a hotel owner.
The accused has been identified as Sanju Sadhu Nishad (35), a resident of Jaripatka. Sanju used to work in a hotel at Mominpura. He was sacked by the hotel owner as he was addicted to marijuana (ganja). The victim and Sanju are residents of the same locality. Sanju lured the girl with chocolate when she was playing near her house on Saturday evening. When the girl raised an alarm and cried for help, a neighbouring woman alerted her mother who rushed to save her child. The victim, somehow, managed to free herself from the clutches of the accused and walked out of the house.
