Pune: A delivery person (21) was arrested on the charge of touching a 13-year-old girl inappropriately around noon on Thursday at her house in Khandvenagar after seeking a glass of water. Senior inspector Pandit Rejitwad of the Wagholi police said the girl's mother, a domestic help, called the girl from her workplace on Friday and told her that she was expecting a parcel to be delivered at home. She asked her daughter, a Standard V student, to collect it and give Rs100 to the delivery person.
