Gandhinagar, April 16: A 24-year-old man, who was on run after raping and sodomising a 9-year-old girl in Gujarat's Rajkot district, has been arrested, police said on Monday.
According to a complaint filed by victim's mother Divyaben Madhvi, Kamlesh alias Murli Bharwad lured her daughter into his house and committed the crime.
He has confessed to the crime, a police officer said.
"Also, the culprit confessed to have committed similar act twice about a fortnight ago and threatened the girl not to inform anyone. The accused had also threatened to repeat the act if the victim informed anyone about the act," said Rajkot's Assistant Commissioner of Police Harshad Bhatt.
It was after the victim complained of unbearable pain on Sunday that her mother came to know about the ghastly incident.
Murli has been booked under various sections pertaining to rape and unnatural sex offences under the Indian Penal Code and under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act, police said.

RJD surprise element in J’khand polls, party candidates leading in 5 of 6 assembly seats
Ranchi(PTI): The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has emerged as a surprise element in the Jharkhand assembly elections with its candidates leading in five of the six seats where the party is contesting, according to trends available on the Election Commission's website on Saturday.
RJD candidates in five assembly seats were leading over sitting BJP legislators.
In 2019, RJD had secured only the Chatra seat where its nominee Satyanand Bhokta won.
In Deoghar, RJD’s Suresh Paswan was leading by 19,581 votes over his nearest rival and BJP's sitting MLA Narayan Das after the third round of counting.
RJD’s Sanjay Prasad Yadav was ahead by 19,867 votes in Godda over BJP MLA Amit Kumar Mandal after the sixth round of counting.
In Koderma, RJD nominee Subhash Prasad Yadav, who was out on bail, was leading by a margin of 3,471 votes over BJP’s sitting legislator Neera Yadav.
Subhas Prasad Yadav, considered to be one of the close aides of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, was recently granted bail by the Supreme Court in a money laundering case.
Party’s Naresh Prasad Singh was leading by 5,159 votes after the fourth round of counting over BJP’s Bishrampur MLA Ramchandra Chandravanshi.
RJD's Sanjay Kumar Singh Yadav was also leading from Hussainabad by 8,213 votes after the fourth round of counting over BJP MLA Kamlesh Kumar Singh.
Party’s candidate Rashmi Prakash, however, was trailing from Chatra by 3,776 votes.
Bhokta did not contest the elections this time, and his daughter-in-law Prakash was given a ticket.
