Class 6 girl sexually assaulted in Delhi shop, accused arrested

The record

Written from the 2 reports below. Nothing here is unsourced.

Police in Delhi have arrested a shopkeeper on allegations of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl and confining her, according to The Times of India.
A Hindi-language report from Aaj Tak describes a 56-year-old shopkeeper arrested for the rape of a 16-year-old girl — matching on the arrest and the suspect's occupation but differing on the victim's age, so either the case details are still settling or two similar arrests occurred around the same time.
If the victim is a minor, the case falls under India's stringent POCSO child-protection law, which carries heavier sentences and special court procedures.
Neither report discloses the girl's current condition, how long the alleged confinement lasted, or whether formal charges have been filed.
Coverage so far is neutral and thin, with no statements from police, the accused, or local representatives.
The immediate questions are the victim's verified age and medical status, the charges filed, and the court timeline.

Confirm the victim's age and medical examination results as police release details
Track the POCSO chargesheet filing and the accused's court appearance
Watch for clarity on whether the reported age discrepancy is one case or two
Monitor local reaction or calls for stricter oversight of shops near homes
