A man was detained in Delhi on Sunday morning in the rape of a six-year-old girl after he was seen in CCTV footage with her, said police sources.

According to reports, the six-year-old is currently being treated at the national capital's Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital.

The girl returned home injured and bleeding from a community meal in the neighborhood on Friday, her family said. When they took the girl to a hospital, they were informed that she had been raped. The girl's father is a daily wage laborer.

Surveillance footage from the area showed the girl was seen following the accused from a market.

The accused was detained today from Rohtak. Investigation reveals he had been arrested earlier as well for allegedly molesting a minor.

According to a report from NDTV, the case filed in the six-year-old's rape case includes sections of the tough law against sexual abuse of children and comes just days after a 15-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her cousin at her house in south Delhi's Kotla Mubarakpur.
