A man was today arrested for allegedly trying to kidnap a nine-year-old girl near Gopalpura bypass here, police said.

The girl had gone to get milk from a dairy near her house where the accused Abhay Singh (30) asked her the address of a school and made her sit on the motorcycle and took her away. Sensing trouble, the girl cried and raised an alarm. She managed to escape and rushed home, the police said.

Police examined CCTV footage installed in the area in which the accused was seen taking the girl forcefully away on a motorcycle. Today, a police team spotted a suspect with the same look, they said.

On the basis of the registration number of that bike, police traced the suspect and it became clear in interrogation that he was the same person who had abducted the girl yesterday morning, DCP (east) K Rastradeep said.

The accused has been arrested under various sections of the IPC and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) Act.
