Shocked mother took the daughter to a doctor, where she was subjected to a sonography test, report of which confirmed rape, police said, adding that the mother then filed a complaint against the choreographer.

Assistant commissioner of police Nishant Bhardwaj, who is investigating the case, said that the suspect had settled in Delhi about a month ago after his work had been affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Describing the incident, Bhardwaj said, “On February 26, 2018, during a training session, he followed the victim to the toilet and raped her there. He threatened her not to tell about the incident to anyone.''

The scared victim did not tell anyone about the incident until a few days ago when her mother sat to educate her about good touch and bad touch, the ACP said.

Bhardwaj said that after the complaint by the girl's mother, police began the investigation and traced the suspect to Delhi from where he was arrested.
