Bangalore, June 26: A five-year-old girl who had gone to a mango grove with her friends to play and pick the fruit was allegedly raped by two teenagers in Byappanadoddi village near Yadavanahalli, off Hosur Road, Anekal taluk of Bangalore Rural district on Monday afternoon.

The culprits identified as Madhura alias Operation Madhu, 19, and his friend Viji, 18, have been picked up and are being questioned by Attibele police.

Venugopal alias Belurappa said that when he returned home from work his wife, Shivamma, told him that their daughter, Ranjini (name changed), had injuries on her body. Ranjini had gone to the mango grove near her house to play with other children around 1pm. They found the two teenagers drinking beer. The duo dragged Ranjini into a nearby bush, children who witnessed the barbaric incident, told the child's parents. The children fled from the grove in fear and alerted elders in the village. By the time help came, the teenagers had allegedly raped the girl, police said. The villagers kept the culprits in their custody till the police came.

Ranjini is the second daughter of Belurappa and Shivamma, both daily wage labourers. Her elder sister is eight years old. Police said the child was first taken to the Anekal government hospital where doctors referred the child to the Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Jayanagar. Sanjay Gandhi Hospital doctors confirmed rape.

The child, who is under acute trauma, is undergoing treatment in Vani Vilas Hospital. Police told TOI that Madhura was a drunkard. "He was regularly involved in fights with others. He gained notoriety as Operation Madhu as he had undergone several surgeries on his stomach because of stab injuries he had suffered in fights with others," police said. The duo will be produced before an Anekal court on Tuesday.

CHILD ABUSERS ON THE PROWL Girl children aren't safe in Bangalore. More so on the city's outskirts where vast swathes of unpopulated territory have become havens for anti-social elements. That people from economically weaker sections reside in these areas and in most cases both parents go to work, leave little girls vulnerable to sexual assaults.

On June 17 night, a seven-year-old girl was raped and murdered allegedly by a 28-yearold man at Nellurahalli, near Whitefield, late on Saturday. The accused had gone to their house once with the victim's father. When the entire village was busy with a local deity's temple inauguration, he took the child on the pretext of buying her a biscuit, raped her and threw the unconscious child into a lake. Children from economically weaker sections have no protection against sexual abuse, said Vasudeva Sharma, member, Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights.

As she stopped her car in the middle of the busy road, one lane got blocked for some time and the traffic police personnel present there tried to ensure movement of other vehicles, the official said.

After sometime, the traffic police asked the couple to take their cars near the footpath.

By that time, the husband stepped out of his SUV, following which the wife ran towards him and caught him. She even kicked him a couple of times and took him to her car, the video shows.

Hyderabad, May 25: Indicating foul play in the death of nine people, including six of a family, whose bodies were fished out from a well near Warangal, a forensic expert on Sunday virtually ruled out suicide theory, saying it appeared seven of them had been dragged and thrown into the water body.

Mystery shrouded the death of nine people, including six of a family, whose bodies were found in a well, five of them on Friday and four on Thursday, on the outskirts of Warangal in Telangana.

Police stepped up the probe and forensic analysis was also underway in the case.

"We have preserved all organs and the same were sent to forensic science laboratory (FSL) for examination... some two or three persons might have been involved in the crime. There are scratch injuries on the bodies," he said.

"It appears that they were thrown into the water... There were no injuries on the child's body. We are awaiting the forensic report (to ascertain) whether they were poisoned. It didn't appear as if they committed suicide," the expert, who performed the post-mortem said.

Police sources said at least two people were picked up for questioning.
