INDIAN POLICE HAVE arrested a second suspect in their investigation into the abduction and rape of a five-year-old girl in New Delhi last week, officials said Monday.
Pradeep Kumar was arrested at a relative’s home in the eastern state of Bihar overnight after the main accused, Manoj Kumar, said he had taken part in the shocking attack which triggered weekend protests in the Indian capital.
“The second accused was hiding in his uncle’s home. We have arrested him and we will be soon bringing him to Delhi for a joint interrogation and medical tests,” said a senior investigating officer, requesting anonymity.
News of the attack triggered new outrage over sexual crimes, reminiscent of protests that swept the capital in December after a 23-year-old student was savagely gang-raped on a moving bus. She died nearly two weeks later.
Hundreds of protesters demonstrated in New Delhi on Sunday over levels of sexual violence as the five-year-old was being treated at a hospital for internal injuries sustained during her ordeal.
The child “is conscious and stable,” D.K. Sharma, one of a team of doctors treating her at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences hospital, said on Monday.
According to investigators, the youngster was abducted on April 15 in a lower-middle-class area of New Delhi and sexually assaulted for more than 40 hours inside a locked room.
Manoj Kumar, a 22-year-old garment worker who was a tenant in the girl’s house, was arrested on Friday after he had fled to his in-laws’ home in Bihar.

I’ve said it before on here and I’ll say it again…
What the f**k is wrong with some people??
I agree. These sick f**ks should all be chemically castrated so they can never do it again.
Val. Not chemically. Surgically.
@val, took the words out of my mouth. I am sick to my stomach just reading this, that poor little innocent girl, horrible, horrible
I favour cutting their bits off with a rusty blade.
Humanity is gone, raping a 5 year old girl christ people like that need to be thrown at the lions or in India’s case tied down and have an elephant walk on them.
Words fail me here, I would honestly be sent to prison for murder if I laid hands on these sickos
Seriously wtf is wrong with people. This is appauling what happened.
Dear God what’s the world coming to when evil bastards do this to little innocents. Take him & feed him to lions would even be too good a punishment for him. India & rest of world needs to make the “punishment fit the crime” for Rape especially when its to children.
The world has gone mad is no one safe anymore!

Sometimes flicking through the news you see a story that makes your stomach churn. Awful incident
Ossie, sorry my comment similiar to yours. Let the 2 of us go after these perverts.
Sadly, it’s not just a problem in India.
Is it because india has a massive population that it happens alot or are there alot of sick sick men in India,after all they all look up the Gandhi and he liked to sleep naked with kids to “test” himself and do much worse thing to his niece.
Don’t think it’s only India that’s full of sick pedos
No punishment is too harsh for a crime like that, truly stomach churning, they should be slowly beaten to death!
In all fairness would would red thumb comments on this thread… Cop on to yourselfs unless your red thumbing bedside you support child rapists???
Maybe there’s just a load of elephant salesmen, sorry sales people on here?
I would also like to know who is red thumbing the comments on here…?! Instead of red thumbing give your opinion..! Sickos!
The Journal seems obsessed with denigrating Asia. This sort of thing happens in lots of countries but only gets mentioned on here when it’s India. Bizarre
everytime i read of harm done to children it breaks my heart. how can anyone hurt an innocent child?
I think i will have to stop reading news. It is either happening more frequent or being reported more often. Either way, this type of news is very hard to digest.
Don’t feed the trolls
