The victim could not tell her address or her parents' name when a lady officer tried to ascertain these details, the police said.



The police searched the area where the victim was found and located her parents.



They identified the accused with the help of CCTV footage obtained from the area. The footage showed the accused with the girl on the day of the incident.

The accused, who was unemployed and lived in the same locality as that of the victim, was subsequently arrested, the police said, adding that he had confessed to his crime.



A case has been lodged and investigations are on to ascertain whether the accused was involved in similar crimes in the past, the officer said.
