7-Year-Old Girl 'Raped' By Milkman In Jharkhand, Accused Arrested

A milkman who came to deliver milk to the family's house learned that the minor was alone at home. He lured her by telling her he had something to show her on his phone.

New Delhi: In a shocking incident, a 40-year-old milkman was arrested on Sunday for allegedly raping a seven-year-old girl in Jharkhand's Palamu district, police said. The incident took place on Saturday night in a locality, around 180 km away from the state capital Ranchi, a senior officer told PTI.

According to police, the girl was alone at home when the accused, who came to her residence to supply milk, took her to an adjacent under-construction house on the pretext of showing her something on the phone and then allegedly raped her. 

"The girl was alone at home when the accused came to her residence to supply milk. She was lured with a promise of showing something on the milkman's mobile phone. The accused took her to an adjacent under-construction house where he allegedly committed the crime," additional superintendent of police Rishav Garg was quoted by PTI.
