45-year-old Uttar Pradesh police constable Subhash Singh allegedly raped a seven-year-old girl on January 11, right before her younger brother in Greater Noida’s Surajpur area.
The constable, who is posted with the sales tax department, was in an inebriated state when he took the girl to his house and raped her. She was playing outside her house when Subhash, taking advantage of the situation lured the girl with a ten rupee note inside his house, said Akhilesh Pradhan, SHO, Surajpur police station.
Singh immediately fled the scene after which the neighbours reached for her rescue when they heard her screaming. The accused returned to his rented room the next morning assuming that the issue has been resolved, only to find the victim’s family and local people were waiting for him.
Singh has been booked for raping the minor under Protection of Children against Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The child has been admitted to a district hospital in Noida for medical examination.
