Eight-Year-Old Rape Case Culprit Nabbed in Delhi

Pradeep, accused in an eight-year-old rape case of a minor girl, was arrested in Delhi. The alleged crime occurred in 2016, where Pradeep and an accomplice raped a 13-year-old girl. Both have been absconding until his recent apprehension. The search for the second accused continues.

Pradeep, a resident of Katahara in Uttar Pradesh, was apprehended in Delhi's Moti Bagh area, according to Hisar police on Monday. The capture comes eight years after the heinous crime in which he, along with an accomplice, raped a 13-year-old girl in 2016 and had been on the run since.

Sub-Inspector Seema, in-charge of the Women Police Station, stated that the case was initially registered on August 12, 2016, under relevant legal provisions. The arrest represents a significant step forward in the pursuit of justice for the young victim. Pradeep was produced before a Hisar court on Monday and is currently on a two-day police remand for further interrogation.

The search for Pradeep's accomplice remains ongoing, indicating a continued commitment to resolving this long-standing case and delivering justice for the victim.
