He took her to an isolated place and tried to assault her. But before he could sexually assault the girl, two cops passing near the area nabbed him.
A police official at Malviya Nagar police station said, ‘Nasarudin was found under the influence of alcohol and when he was nabbed red-handed, a mobile phone was recovered from him.’ The girl told the police that the man had lured her by promising her chocolates and crackers if she accompanied him to his house nearby. Attracted towards this offer, she agreed to go along with him.
‘Around midway, he pulled her in his arms saying that his residence is bit far away so she might get tired of walking,’ the official said quoting the victimised minor girl. Meanwhile, they arrived at an isolated place surrounded with trees and bushes came, where the accused tried to assault her.
In the meantime, finding their daughter missing, who was playing outside her residence in Jhuggi cluster in Khirki Extension, a man-hunt was started by her family and neighbours.
