A five-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a teenage boy at Trimbakeshwar which led to tension as angry villagers protested at several places in the district demanding his immediate arrest, police said today.

The boy has been taken into custody, they said.

In view of the situation, Nashik Police Commissioner Ravindra Singhal has appealed people to maintain peace.

The 16-year-old boy allegedly raped the girl at an isolated place at Talegaon village under Trimbakeshwar taluka in the district yesterday, Trimbakeshwar police station in-charge Mukund Deshmukh said.
