A 45-year-old man was thrashed by the locals before being handed over to the Kashimira Police for allegedly raping his 7-year-old neighbour — a Class 2 student — on Monday afternoon. Chauhan had shifted to Dachkulpada two months ago and had befriended the survivor’s parents, who work as labourers at construction sites. After the girl’s parents left for work, Chauhan allegedly lured her into his room and raped her. The incident came to light and soon the news spread across Dachkulpada after the minor told her mother about it. Angry locals first thrashed Chauhan and then dragged him to the police station.
