A 27-year-old man was arrested for allegedly running away with a minor girl to Rajasthan, a Mumbai police official said.

The man worked as a watchman in the building where the minor girl used to do cleaning and sweeping jobs, a Vakola police station official said.

"After the girl's parents filed a complaint, we held the man and his younger brother, who hid them, from Chittorgarh in Rajasthan. They have been charged with kidnapping. A medical examination will be conducted on the girl to see if she has been sexually assaulted," he said.
