A 30-year-old man has been arrested for stabbing an 11-year-old girl while he attempted to rape her.
The accused has been identified as Amol Singh. On Friday, he was arrested from Tuglakabad railway station. He and the victim are the resident of Vishvakarma colony in south Delhi’s Pul Prahladpur.
The incident took place on Thursday at about 7 pm when Singh called the girl at his residence with some excuse. He tried to rape her but when the girl resisted and tried to raise alarm, he stabbed her several times all over her body.
The girl had received more than three stab injuries. After stabbing her, Singh managed to escape. Further when the father of the girl reached Singh’s house while searching her daughter, he found her lying in a pool of blood. He immediately made a PCR call and rushed her to All India Institute of Medical Sciences [AIIMS]. The doctors have immediately operated her and her condition is stated to be critical.
A senior police official said, ‘A case of attempt to murder has been registered against the accused,’
As per victim’s family members the girl had left her home to fetch cold water from rented house of the accused.
‘The accused, who was drunk at the time of the incident, stabbed the victim after failing in his rape attempt. The incident came to light after girl’s father approached the house of the accused. Seeing girl’s father, the accused fled from the spot, but was landed in police custody early Friday morning,’ said the officer.
