A nine-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a man at a bus stand at Shivpuri. The police have arrested the 33-year-old accused, a garbage collector, in connection with the assault that occurred on Friday night, an official said.
Kotwali Police Station in-charge Rohit Dubey said the accused, Krishna Pal Rawat alias Tonta, has been booked under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
He said the child was waiting at the bus stand with her grandparents and five-year-old brother as they missed the bus to their village after travelling from Ahmedabad, where they were employed as labourers.
According to the girl's grandfather, he had gone with his wife to get the children some fruits and had left them behind with another person accompanying them.
On their return, the grandparents found the girl had blood stains on her body, and she told them about the assault, he said.
