A 60-year-old man was arrested today on the charge of raping a minor girl at Satya Nagar area in Bhubaneswar, a police officer said.
The accused is a neighbour of the 10-year-old girl.
In their complaint, the girl's parents said the sexagenarian man, on finding their child playing alone near his house yesterday, took her to a secluded place and raped her, the officer said.
