According to the police, the accused, who is known to the girl, approached her on Wednesday morning, saying he would drop her off at school in his car.
But instead of taking her to school, the man allegedly took the 13-year-old to a secluded spot and raped her in his car, and threatened to harm her if she narrated the incident to anybody, the police said.
The police said the girl was in a state of shock, and later in the night, she disclosed the incident to her mother. The mother approached the police and lodged an FIR against the car driver.
The police said they have also seized the car used in the crime. The accused was booked under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act.
A court has remanded the accused in police custody for two days. Further investigation is on, the police said.
