A 32-year-old man allegedly raped a 14-year-old girl in front of her mentally challenged younger sister at her residence on Saturday.
The accused was identified by the Mandya West Station police as M. Bojaiah, a resident of Girija Slum here. According to the girl’s parents, a Rs. 2,000 loan had been taken by the victim’s mother about a year ago. Bojaiah had made occasional visits to the residence seeking loan repayment.
The parents were not at home when the accused allegedly barged into the house.
