Police suspect him of raping daughters as well.
Delhi Police on Saturday arrested a serial rapist, who made a startling revelation that he raped nearly 600 children, aged between seven and eleven years, in the past 13 years not only in Delhi but also in Ghaziabad and Rudrapur.
Tailor by profession, 38-year-old Sunil Rastogi is the father of five children aged 15,12,10,11 and 9 years and police suspect him of raping the daughters as well.
Hails from Rampur in Uttar Pradesh, Rastogi came to Delhi in 1990 with his family and started assisting his father at a tailoring shop. In 2004, he and his family were thrashed by locals and were forced to leave Mayur Vihar after he had attempted to sexually assault a child from the locality he lived.
Following week, he had allegedly assaulted another girls and he just like the last case, her family too did not report the matter to the police.
Police said that little girls begging for help amused Rastogi and emboldened by the fact that the families of the victims did not approach the police so that, he could get away with anything. He was jailed for six months in Rudrapur, Uttarakhand, for a similar offence in 2006.
According to police, the paedophile used to travel to Delhi from Uttar Pradesh every fortnight to target minor girls.
He used to lure minor school-going girls by offering them sweets, kidnap and take them to isolated locations, rape them and used to flee the city after the crime.
A team under inspector CR Meena, SHO, New Ashok Nagar police station, and ACP (Kalyanpuri) Rahul Alwal took up the investigation.
