A construction labourer, identified as Vasanth (20), was arrested on charge of attempting to rape an eight-year-old girl in his house on Sunday.
The incident came to light when the victim, daughter of construction labourers in T. Hosahalli, complained of uneasiness on Thursday. The couple took her a doctor who examined her and said that she was sexually assaulted.
Parents lodged a complaint with the Bagalur police against Vasanth, who works in a brick klin. Police arrested him under POCSO Act.
Meanwhile, the Peenya Police on Thursday arrested Rajaachari alias Rajanna, a tailor from Nelamangala who was on the run since Wednesday after allegedly molesting a four-year-old girl.
Rajanna has been remanded in judicial custody.
Rajanna has two children aged 12 and 14, and his wife works in a garment factory, said police.
