The police have arrested a 50-year-old man for allegedly raping a minor girl at an offset printing company in the Valiv area of Vasai East for days. The accused has been identified as Pradeep Prajapati, who worked in the same company where the minor girl also worked along with her father.

“On December 31, Prajapati sent the minor’s father outside and asked the girl to stay back citing some complaint against her he wanted to discuss. Once they were alone, he forced himself upon her and raped her,” said an officer privy to the investigation.
