Deputy Superintendent of Police Lawrence D’Souza said that Parab, a resident of Maharashtra, lured the victim while she was playing with a group of children near the house, and took her to his mini-truck’s cabin to molest her. “The girl complained to her mother after which locals caught the driver and beat him up. Later, he was handed over to police,” D’Souza said. IANS
