A two-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a 40-year-old man in a village in Bareilly district following which he was arrested, police said on Tuesday.
On Monday evening, when the toddler was playing outside her house in a village near CB Ganj locality, Yadram Sahu lured her by saying that he would buy her chips to eat, according to senior superintendent of police Shailendra Pandey.
When the family came to know that Sahu had taken the girl with him, they rushed to his house and found the girl lying on a mat on the floor, bleeding.

The SSP said the girl was immediately rushed to a hospital for medical examination and an FIR under POCSO Act was registered against the accused. The medical report is awaited, he said.
