Patna, July 8: A 14-year-old girl, Reena (name changed), was raped by a mason, Ajit Kumar (22), at Sheikhpura under Ramkrishna Nagar police station in Patna late on Friday night.
Ramkrishna Nagar police station SHO Raghav Dayal said Ajit, a native of village Rauniya under Naubatpur police station in Patna district, was staying in a rented house at Sheikhpura with his brother-in-law for the last four years and worked as a mason. The house is close to Reena's house, whose family runs a cosmetic shop in the locality. The girl's family hails from Hilsa in Nalanda district, he added.
