Police have arrested a 39-year-old employee of a grocery shop for allegedly sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl, an official said on Friday.
The man allegedly targeted the child when she went to the shop, located in the Kalachowki area in central Mumbai, to buy biscuits on Tuesday evening, he said.
On the pretext of giving biscuits, the man called her inside and allegedly touched her inappropriately.
She rescued herself when the accused, who was alone in the store, tried to remove the child’s clothes.
