A minor girl was allegedly raped in Odisha's Jajpur district by a youth who was subsequently arrested, police said today.
The 14-year-old girl was raped by her 23-year-old neighbour at Dungrapur village on Tuesday evening and the complaint was lodged with the police on Thursday.
As per the complaint the girl's parents were away at the time and the youth forcibly took her to his house and committed the crime.
