A two-and-half year-old girl was the youngest rape victim this month, while two minors were sexually assaulted in a moving car, including one in which a traffic police constable was arrested along with his property-dealer friend. The red-faced Delhi police immediately dismissed Sanjeev Rana, the constable who also tried to allegedly bribe the victim's family to drop the case, from the service.
In another shocking incident, a rape victim was publicly thrashed by family members and neighbours of the accused. A mentally-challenged girl, who is deaf and dumb, was allegedly raped by a bus driver.
A teenaged boy, who was arrested for allegedly raping a minor girl, escaped from police custody in north-west Delhi this month.
In other cases, a 40-year old woman was allegedly gangraped on April 16 by four men, including her husband's friend, in a moving car. A day later, unidentified men barged into a house in north Delhi, raped a 26-year-old woman and fled with valuables.
