NEW DELHI: A man has been charged after a five-year-old girl was allegedly raped on the premises of the American embassy in India´s capital New Delhi, police said on Thursday.
The 25-year-old was arrested at the high-security mission on Sunday after the girl´s family complained of the sexual assault, which allegedly took place on Saturday at the living quarters for local housekeeping staff.
"The accused was arrested on Sunday immediately after the parents complained about the sexual attack," investigating officer Yogesh Kumar told AFP.
