Two men suspected to be members of a gang that raped a six-year-old girl to death have been arrested by the Indian police.
The horror incident happened in the Bulandshahr district of Uttar Pradesh, India. According to the police the girl was gang-raped and hurled from a rooftop. The young child was rushed to a local hospital after the horrific incident but sadly, despite best efforts, she was pronounced dead upon arrival.
The two men, known as Raju and Veeru, were apprehended after a brief shootout in the Sikandrabad industrial area. Both suspects suffered gunshot injuries to their legs during the police operation and were transported to hospital for treatment. Officers discovered two firearms and ammunition at the scene.
The victim’s father lodged an official complaint, leading police to assemble three special teams to hunt down the suspects. Superintendent of Police Dr. Tejveer Singh stated that the accused began shooting when officers tried to intercept them.
“During initial interrogation, the defendants admitted to their involvement,” Singh informed reporters. The girl, who resided in the same building as the suspects, was allegedly attacked while playing on the terrace, reports the Mirror US.
