The 11-year-old girl was allegedly raped in a farm field by an unidentified person in Ainoli village in Chincholi taluk on December 22, police said.
Though people from the girl's side approached the local police station to lodge a complaint, their plea was not entertained. The Child Welfare Committee of Chincholi taluk took up the issue and met District Superintendent of Police N Satish Kumar today to pursue the matter, they said.
A search had been launched to nab the absconding culprit.
The girl is undergoing treatment at a hospital in Solapur in neighbouring Maharashtra. A police team as well as officials from its women wing left for Solapur to record her statement, they added.
