A six year-old girl was allegedly raped by a 65-year-old man in a village under Satrikh police station area here, police said on Wednesday.

The girl was playing outside her house about a week ago when Panni Lal lured her to his house and escaped after raping her, police station incharge Atul Srivastava said.

An FIR in this connection was filed after father of the victim registered his complaint on Tuesday, he said, adding that the girl has been sent to a district hospital for medical examination.

Efforts are on to nab the culprit, Srivastava added.

In separate incidents, two minor girls were allegedly raped in separate areas of Shahjahanpur in Uttar Pradesh on May 13.

In Madnapur village, a ten-year-old girl was allegedly raped by an unidentified person while she was on her way home.

As per the victim's relative, she was returning home from her neighbour's place, when the accused, a resident of the same locality, forcefully took her to his house and raped her. Later, the accused fled the location, leaving the minor unconscious.

Another incident came to light in RC Mission area, where a seven-year-old Dalit girl was allegedly raped, and subsequently admitted to the hospital unconscious.

Meanwhile, Additional Superintendent of Police (SP) Dinesh Tripathi stated that probes were being conducted in both cases.

"In the rape case of the ten-year-old girl, we have arrested the accused. However, in the second case, the investigation is still underway. Our teams have been deployed to probe both cases, and very soon, we will take necessary action," he said.

With increasing incidents of atrocities against minors being reported in Uttar Pradesh, the families of these two victims demanded strict action from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for better protection of children.
