Two minor girls were raped in two separate attacks in the national capital, police said Saturday.
A four-year-old girl was raped by a neighbour when she was alone at her house in Pashim Vihar area in west Delhi Friday night.
"Hiral Lal (24), a labourer, lured the girl into his house and raped her. He left the victim outside her house and ran away," a police officer said.
Lal was arrested from his house Friday night after the rape was confirmed in the medical examination.
In another incident, a 12-year-old girl was raped after she was abducted by an unknown person from her house in Sonia Vihar area in east Delhi late Friday.
A case of rape has been registered and a probe is on to nab the unknown accused, police said.
