Saudi Arabia’s feared religious police arrested an Indian worker after he abducted a 7-year-old local girl and tried to rape her.

The man had stalked the girl as she was playing just outside her farm house near the northern town of Tabuk before snatching her.

“Her parents were busy in the farm…he kidnapped the girl and went to an isolated place, where he stripped her off…but he was arrested before raping her,” the Arabic language daily Okaz said.
