"The girl, whom Kumar approached for sexual favours, used to go to the institute with her mother, who works as a sanitation worker," police said.

Kumar asked another visually-challenged girl inmate to ask the girl if she would like to have physical relationship with him.

"The incident occurred a few days ago. However, institute authorities lodged a complaint against Kumar yesterday (Saturday) evening. We arrested him today (Sunday)," said the officer.
