He further stated that by the time the girl’s brothers returned home, the accused had left. “The victim recounted the entire incident to her mother after she returned from work. The mother then made a PCR call following which a police team reached the scene and took the girl to AIIMS for a medical examination,” he said. “We arrested the man immediately and the assault was also confirmed,” the official added.
