It was reported that a 65-year-old man named Chaturbhuj Rathore, a resident of Bahodapur Shubhash Nagar in Gwalior allegedly raped an 11-year-old girl. Apparently, the girl was lured by giving chocolates and the man raped her by tying a bandage on her eyes in a warehouse. The accused who happens to be a shopkeeper was arrested immediately after the case was filed by the victim’s parents.
