A daily wage labourer was arrested on Saturday for allegedly molesting a three-and-a-half-year old girl after luring her with a piece of chocolate on Friday at Hennur.
Vikas Bharman (26), a native of West Bengal, spotted the girl when she had gone out to play near the Prakruthi Apartment complex where her father worked as a security guard. According to police, he attempted to molest the girl on Friday when her mother had gone to work as a domestic help. When her mother returned in the evening and saw Bharman lift the child up and attempt to kiss her, she became suspicious.
Her parents filed a police complaint after the child narrated the incident to them.
Following the complaint, the Hennur police arrested Bharman and sent the girl for medical examination.
