The injured toddler was rushed to a hospital where doctors called the police in the wee hours today.
The 25-year-old accused lived in a rented accommodation close to victim's residence and regularly visited her as she was fond of playing with him, the parents told the police.
The parents had asked the accused to babysit the girl as they were going out for some work. When they returned to pick her up from his residence they found her to be bleeding and without clothes, police said.
The accused was later arrested by police which had made several raids to catch him, an officer said.
A case has been registered under Section 376 (rape) of the IPC and relevant provisions of POCSO Act, he said.
