A seven-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a man at Purusotampur village under the jurisdiction of Soro Police Station on May 11, Inspector In-Charge of Soro police station, Dilip Sahu, said. The girl, a student of class 2, was sexually assaulted inside a lift irrigation point centre in an agriculture field, he said.
