The South-East district police have released a sketch of the accused who had on Wednesday night raped a 10-year-old in Govindpuri area. Police is yet to make any headway in its probe into the rape of a 10-year-old girl even they have questioned around 200 people in connection with the case, while locals continued their protests demanding immediate arrest of the culprit.

Several teams have been formed and they are looking for him,” the officer added.
Investigation revealed that the accused used to fox unsuspecting minor girls by complaining to their parents about his nephew being thrashed. Before the scared victim could comprehend the real motive, the accused took them to an isolated place in Tughlakabad and raped them. The police are trying to find out if the culprit had any links in Govindpuri area and adjoining areas from where five incidents of rape have been reported in the past few months.
“There has to be some connection, particularly in Govindpuri area,” said a police officer, adding that enquiries were being carried out in that area to identify the perpetrators.
Police said around 200 people have been questioned in connection with the case but no arrest has been made so far. Some persons were detained from the area for questioning.

The girl returned home around 11 pm in a dishevelled state with bruises all over her body.
