New Delhi:
Four rapes have been reported in the past three days in the capital, three involving little girls who knew their attackers.
In a fifth case, a teenager has alleged molestation by her own step-father. All the accused have been arrested.
Just after the youngest accused in the horrific Delhi gangrape was sentenced to three years in a reform home, a nine-year-old has been allegedly raped and brutalized by a neighbor only a few years older.
The girl was attacked in the toilet of her own house. The boy allegedly inserted a water pipe inside the girl, for which she had a surgery. He has been arrested and sent to a juvenile home.
Another nine-year-old was allegedly raped by an auto-driver, Om Prakash, who knew her and often gave her a ride home from school for five rupees.
Om Prakash, 42, allegedly threatened her with a knife, took her to a deserted spot in Ghaziabad and raped her. He later asked another auto-driver to take her home. But the second auto-driver drove straight to the police station after the girl told him what had happened. Om Prakash has been arrested.
In another case where the girl knew her alleged attacker, a 13-year-old has accused her step-father of molesting her in their east Delhi home.
On Sunday evening, a four-year-old girl who had gone to watch TV at a shop near her house was allegedly lured away by a 19-year-old man, Raju, and raped near railway tracks. Raju has been arrested. The police say he works as a carpenter in the area.
In the same area in west Delhi, a woman was sexually assaulted in the slums allegedly by two men who caught her when she was looking for her son. Both men have been arrested.
