The victim, a resident of Ghaziabad, met accused Tariq Sarkar (21), at Colombia Hospital on July 22 where her aunt was admitted.
Sarkar hails from Bihar and was residing at his relative's house in Gurgaon. The accused allegedly took the girl to his native place in Bihar and raped her for 12 days.
Police officials said the victim along with her mother had come to meet her aunt at the hospital. Accused Sarkar was known to the victim and her family. He somehow managed to entice the girl and allegedly took her to his native place in Katihar, Bihar, where he exploited her.
