The boys, aged 10 and 11 years, have been apprehended, they said.

The incident took place on Tuesday night, 2 July, at a slum cluster in Kapashera area where the girl lived with her family, including her father who worked as a daily wager, a senior police officer said.

“The girl was playing with some children in the neighbourhood on Tuesday night when two boys took her to an isolated area and sexually assaulted her. They were known to the girl and had lured her offering toffees.”
