An 11-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her maternal uncle in central Assam’s Nagaon district.
The minor girl was allegedly raped by her uncle when her parents were away from home.
Initially, the accused man had told the parents that the girl was molested by another person but the minor later told her mother that her uncle had committed the act.
Police arrested the accused on Thursday based on a complaint filed by the girl’s mother, said a police official.
