Two men have been arrested for allegedly gang-raping a three-year-old girl in south DelhiтАЩs Fatehpur Beri, the police said on Friday.
An officer said a case has been registered against the accused тАФ Ramniwas Panika, 27, and Shaktiman Singh, 22 тАФ who hail from Madhya Pradesh and worked as helpers in a garbage recycling company.
The victim has been sent for medical examination at AIIMS and her condition is said to be stable, the officer added.
The arrests were made soon after the victimтАЩs mother had filed a police complaint that the child had been missing since morning.
The police said the accused, who live in the same area as the victim, were drinking when they saw her playing outside her house.
The two then took her to a nearby jungle, raped her and fled the spot.
Another girl who lives near the jungle heard the child crying. After rushing to the spot, the girl found her bleeding from her privates and took her to her mother, who was searching for her all the while.
