He had gone to deliver milk to the family and finding the girl alone, tried to rape her. However, the cries of the girl and her six-year old brother, attracted the attention of neighbours who rushed to the spot.
The accused fled the scene and hectic efforts were launched to nab him.
After two days’ hunt, a Police party led by SHO Udhampur, Inspector Sanjeev Gupta, apprehended the accused from a hideout late last night.
