MUMBAI: A 40-year-old man was arrested by the Samta Nagar police on Thursday for raping a minor who resides next door to him at Kandivali East. The 11-year-old victim underwent an examination at the Nagpada police hospital.

According to the police, the victim's parents are labourers. They had left home for work on Thursday. Around noon, the accused, Raja Shaikh, summoned the victim to his house, on the pretext of offering her some goodies. When the unsuspecting victim agreed and went over, Shaikh raped her. He later fled from the housing colony.

When her parents returned home, the girl narrated what had happened. Her parents then approached the Samta Nagar police and lodged a complaint. A police team was dispatched to look for Shaikh and found him at Kurla station. He was taken into custody and sent for a medical examination.
