A 11-year-old girl from the primitive Sabar tribe was allegedly raped by her neighbour in Jharkhand's East Singhbhum district today, police said.
The girl was alone at home when Sunil Hembram (35) barged into her room and assaulted her before committing rape, Officer-in-charge Chakulia police station Nityanand Mahato said.
The girl was rushed to a nearby public health centre after she narrated the incident to her parents, he said.
The doctors, however, referred her to the government-run MGM Hospital here for medical check up, Mahato said.
The police have launched a search to apprehend the man, Mahato added.
He said it is suspected that the accused could have fled to adjoining West Bengal.
