Hyderabad: A senior Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader, Tatik Narayana Rao, was arrested in Tuni of Kakinada district in Andhra Pradesh, for allegedly attempting to sexually assault a 13-year-old schoolgirl.

Rao, posing as her grandfather, lured the girl from Tuni Rural Gurukulam School to an isolated orchard in Hamsavaram village.
