Acting on a tip-off, police rescued the girl from a place near the Suraimanpur Railway Station area, nearly 10 days after she had gone missing, and nabbed Ansari, police said.

On the basis of the girl’s statement, police added the IPC section 376 (rape) and sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Act to the case, the SP said.
