"The girl had got bored standing in the queue and went a little distance away to play. Roy, who was painting a nearby shop, noticed her and playfully took her inside. The mother presumed that he took her daughter into the shop to offer sweets,'' a police official said.
The incident came to light when the girl cried and informed her mother later.
Two cases were registered at the Vashi police station. Senior inspector Raosaheb Sardesai said two persons were arrested for the rape of a 12-year-old girl and a handicapped girl.
