Kaushambi:
A man has been arrested for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl with epilepsy under the pretext of treating her in Kaushambi district, police said on Sunday.
A senior police officer said the girl had been suffering from epilepsy for the past three years and was treated in private hospitals, but her condition did not improve.
On December 24, when the girl’s father was away, the 45-year-old exorcist came to their house and convinced her mother to send her with him to “get rid of the evil spirits”. After this, he took the girl to a remote place and raped her, Singh said.
An FIR was registered against the suspect following a complaint from the girl’s father under the relevant IPC and POCSO sections on Saturday and he was arrested on Sunday.
