Kumar was later arrested, the police said.
The girl was admitted to the community health centre in Mahilpur. An investigation is underway, they added.
A case under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act has been registered, the police said.
