She was assaulted at her home in west Delhi's Subhash Nagar when her parents were both out for work, according to the police.
"I left for duty and later my wife also had to leave for about an hour," said the baby's father, a labourer. The child was left in the care of a relative in the building.When the mother, a domestic help, returned, she found the baby crying on a bed that was covered in blood.The baby was taken to hospital, where it was confirmed that she had been raped.The family told the police that they suspected the child's cousin, the father of a boy, who was missing.
The man was arrested last evening. According to the police, he confessed during his interrogation.
