Deputy Commissioner of Police Omvir Singh identified the deceased as 25-year-old Sanjay from Pandav Nagar in east Delhi.
"Sanjay died in GTB hospital at around 8 a.m. on Saturday," he said.
At around 10 p.m. on Thursday, Sanjay molested the four-year-old girl at Sanjay Lake Park. But he was caught in the act, beaten up severely and by the time police reached the spot he was almost unconscious, the DCP said.
Sanjay was shifted to a nearby hospital, but as his condition was serious, he was referred to GTB hospital.
