Could not find method kapt() for Glide

Question

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.2.61"

I have the above gradle configuration, and still I am getting

Could not find method kapt() for arguments [com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.3.1] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

Can someone tell me where am I going wrong? Thanks for the help in advance

The project-level build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.2"
        classpath "com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0"
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.2.70"
    }
}

The module-level build.gradle:

apply plugin: "kotlin-android"
apply plugin: "kotlin-android-extensions"
apply plugin: "kotlin-kapt"
...
android {

} 
dependencies {
    implementation "com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.8.0"
    // annotationProcessor "com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.8.0"
    kapt "com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.8.0"
}
...
apply plugin: "com.google.gms.google-services"
