A Rapid Action Force (RAF) constable has been booked for allegedly molesting a seven-year-old girl outside the RAF complex in Kuwarsi area,police said Monday. An FIR was filed on Sunday on the complaint of the girl’s father and efforts are on to identify the culprit,they said.

According to the girl’s father,who runs a small shop near the RAF gate,he had left his shop for sometime on Friday leaving his daughter behind when she was molested by the constable who sped away as soon as he saw him coming.

When her father chased the constable,he ran inside the RAF compound.

Protesters gathered at the spot but were prevented from accosting the constable by the RAF guards posted there,the girl’s father claimed. Senior officials rushed to the spot and assured the protesters that the guilty personnel would not be spared.
