A minor girl was allegedly raped by an unidentified man at a park in east Delhi's Shahdara, news agency PTI reported, quoting police.

The cops were informed about the incident on Thursday after the girl's mother lodged a complaint.

“The victim is currently being counselled. We have registered a case of rape and under appropriate sections of the POCSO Act. Our teams are looking for the accused,” said a senior police officer.

The 12-year-old girl is, however, in a state of trauma, and is not able to identify the person or place in the park where the incident took place. She is being counselled, reported The Times of India.

Police have formed two teams who are making a list of parks in the locality, reported The Indian Express. They are also questioning people known to the victim, street vendors and people frequenting the parks to identify the accused, the report said.
