A girl studying in Class VII was allegedly assaulted sexually by her 18-year-old neighbour in Uppuguda of Chatrinaka here on Saturday.
Chatrinaka inspector R. Vidya Sagar Reddy said the offence took place around 2.30 p.m. after the accused, Rakesh, invited the 14-year-old victim to his house stating that his sister is expecting her. Both, Rakesh’s sister and victim are friends and would often visit each other's houses.
“Soon after she entered his house, the accused locked the doors and raped her,” he said.

She was sent for medical examinations and a case under Sections 376 (punishment for rape), 359 (Kidnapping) and relevant Sections of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act was registered against Rakesh, who was taken into custody.
