Police have arrested a man on the charge of raping a minor.
Biraj Lamsal, 34, a local resident of Ghorahi Sub-Metropolitan-8, was arrested for allegedly raping a four-year-old girl, said Dang District Police Office.
The accused, who went to work at the same place as the victim’s parents, allegedly lured the child by offering her Rs10 on Friday afternoon and raped her, said Superintendent of Police Bir Bahadur Wali, who is also the chief of Dang District Police.
The victim was found lying unconscious in a barren field by her mother, who had gone out searching for her, Wali added. “The victim was also bleeding from her private parts.”
The district court on Sunday extended Lamsal’s judicial remand by five days for further investigation.
