    A man has been arrested for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl in southeast Delhi's Givindpuri area, police said on Sunday.
     
    The matter came to light when the girl was taken for health check up to a doctor who diagnosed her to be six months pregnant, said a senior police officer.
     
    Later, the victim revealed that she was raped by a local fish-seller who had threatened to kill her if she told anyone about it.
