The accused came to the friend’s house around noon when all the kids were alone.
He gave some money to the other three kids and sent them to the market to buy some candies.
Thereafter, he allegedly took the nine-year-old to the bathroom of the house against her will and sexually assaulted her.
The man also threatened the girl to kill her if she dared to tell anyone about his nefarious Act.
The man also gave Rs 50 to the girl and told her to keep her mouth shut, and escaped from there before the three kids could come back.
However, when the parents returned home late evening, they were suspicious after seeing their frightened daughter who couldn’t narrate her ordeal.
But when her mother took her to a room, the nine-year-old revealed her agony.
