A nine-year-old girl was allegedly raped twice by her neighbour's son at SGM Nagar area here.
"Rohit, son of Rita Sachdeva, raped twice the girl during the last eight-month period as the victim was staying with Sachdeva's family with her mother's consent," police said today.
Earlier, Sachdeva had requested the victims' mother to give the girl in her care.
The victim's mother has a dispute with her husband and a case of divorce is pending in court, police said, adding, her mother had given consent to Sachdeva to take care of the girl.
About eight-month ago, the victim's mother had gone to her village and returned three days back to meet her daughter when the girl narrated the incident.
The victim was sent for medical test and rape has been confirmed, police said.
Police have arrested Rohit after registering a case of rape.
