An eight-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her elder brother, also a minor, in northwest Delhi’s Adarsh Nagar, the police said on Wednesday.
On Monday, the police received information from a local hospital that a girl, who was bleeding profusely from her private parts, had been brought in, a senior officer said.
The girl told a counsellor that her elder brother forced himself on her while their parents were away, the police officer said.
The parents returned home in the evening to find the girl bleeding and rushed her to a hospital, he said.
