Dinesh Baisane, 24, is accused of luring the young girl away from where she was playing near her uncle’s home in the Pandesara area by offering to buy her food.
He is then believed to have taken her to an isolated spot where he began to sexually assault her, the Times of India reports.
Baisane, who was friends with the youngster’s family, is alleged to have hit the girl on the head with a brick after she cried out for help.
Police say she died of serious head injuries.
The suspect was identified with the help of locals and CCTV footage of the shop where he took the youngster to buy food.
Baisane told police he was asked by Anand, a distant relative of the girl’s father, to kill the girl.
He has since been arrested, but police are yet to confirm his involvement.
The girl’s father would drop his 15-year-old son and his young daughter to his brother’s home in Prem Nagar while he and his wife worked.
Baisane, who lives in the same area, is believed to be a friend of the girl’s uncle.
