Puri, A five-year-old girl, who was allegedly raped on the rooftop of her house in Odisha’s Puri town, is battling for life at SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack, the PTI reported.

According to sources, the incident took place around 11 am on Sunday. Finding the girl alone at home, the accused, identified as Mahesh Mohanty (35), allegedly took the girl to the rooftop and allegedly raped her. He is an acquaintance to her family and had been absconding since then.

The girl was rescued in a critical state and admitted to Puri district headquarters hospital. She was later shifted to SCB as her condition deteriorated.

Meanwhile, Puri police have launched an investigation and raids are being conducted in Puri town, Chandanpur, Chhaitana and the house of the accused in Jagatsinghpur.

“It is being treated as a top-most priority case. Four separate teams have been formed to nab the accused, a driver,” Puri SP KV Singh informed.
