A man has been arrested for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl suffering from epilepsy on the pretext of treating her in Kaushambi district, police said on Sunday.
A senior police officer said the girl has been suffering from epilepsy for the past three years and was undergoing treatment in private hospitals, but there was no improvement in her condition.
On December 24, when the girl's father was away, the 45-year-old exorcist, came to their house and convinced her mother to send her away with him to "get rid of evil spirits". After this, he took the girl to a secluded place and raped her, Singh said.
An FIR was registered against the accused following a complaint by the girl's father under relevant IPC and POCSO sections on Saturday and he was arrested on Sunday.
