The girl was rescued last night and the youth, identified as Vikas (22), was arrested today after the victim's medical report confirmed rape, police said.
The teenaged girl, who lives in New Ashok Nagar, Block B, had gone missing last Tuesday after stepping outside her house, following which an FIR was lodged.
"Vikas, who lives in the girl's neighbourhood, too, was missing since Tuesday. After it was learnt from sources that he was holding the girl captive in the Shashi Garden area of Pandav Nagar, a raid was immediately conducted and the girl rescued," police added.
After her medical report confirmed rape, a case under Sections 363, 376, 342 of IPC and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act was registered.
