A 22-year-old youth has been arrested here for allegedly raping a minor girl, whom he befriended on a social networking site and promised to marry her.
The accused, a daily wage worker, was arrested yesterday, police said.
The girl, who managed to come back on her own a few days ago, informed her parents and then they lodged a complaint against the youth with police.
Following the complaint, police nabbed the accused here.
The youth had met the girl, who used to chat with him through Facebook, in March and taken her to various places and allegedly sexually abused her, police said.
