The perpetrator, who works as a barber, has been identified as Tanveer, the victim's cousin.
The incident allegedly took place on July 23, when the victim's father -- Abdul Hamid -- slept on the main road outside his house with his two children and his wife due to load-shedding.
During the night, his three-year-old daughter was kidnapped. She was found in a nearby ditch, severely injured, 24 hours later.
The victim was transferred to a hospital and was operated on, but is said to be in critical condition.
Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif took notice of this case, and the police has resolved the case.
