According to the complaint, the child was lured by the boy, who is known to her, with the promise of a ride and a chocolate. Changodar police station officers said that both the victim and the accused were minors.

"The accused is a 17-year-old boy. He was known to the victim as both of them belonged to the same village in Bihar. Their families were working as laboures in Changodar area," said a cop.

He said the teen had lured the child with the promise of a ride on his cycle and that he would get her a chocolate.

"Since the teen was known to the child's family, they allowed her to go with him. He then took her to a field near Changodar canal and raped her," said a cop. Sources said the family was reluctant to file a complaint as the accused were known to them but the cops insisted that an FIR be filed.
