Bidar/Hyderabad, December 20: A five-year-old girl was whisked away in her sleep and allegedly raped in Bidar district of Karnataka, barely a day after a 23-year-old paramedical student was gangraped, stripped and thrown out of a moving bus in New Delhi triggering outrage across the country.

Police said the incident, the latest in a series of rape incidents across India lately, occurred at Saigaon village under Hulsoor police station of Bidar district.

A complaint lodged by parents on Monday alleged that the victim was sleeping at her home when some unidentified person took her away around 9 pm and committed the crime at an isolated place. Although no arrests have been made so far, a search is on to arrest the culprit, police sources said.

The girl was initially admitted at a hospital in Bidar, but family members decided to bring her to Hyderabad as her condition worsened with heavy bleeding and doctors advised them to take her to a better facility.

At Hyderabad's state-run Niloufer Hospital, the girl was examined by a gynaecologist on Wednesday evening and immediate medical attention given, officials said.

"Some tears were found in the perennial region and were sutured by a paediatric surgeon. Samples were also collected for analysis and handed over the police," Dr D Ranganadh, superintendent of Niloufer Hospital told TOI. Some local television channels showed her mother crying profusely while narrating the incident to reporters.


Anger and outrage continues across India following the brutal gangrape of the student in Delhi on Monday and police had to use water cannons to disperse protesters. The incident has prompted authorities to take stringent measures to tackle such crime in the city.

Mumbai, Feb 11: A 65-year-old woman was allegedly killed by her husband over debt and illness in suburban Powai here, police said on Tuesday.

The incident came to light when Sheela Ajit Lad was found dead by her neighbours at Sukh Shanti Co-operative Society at around 9.30 pm on Monday, an official said.

The victim was allegedly killed by her husband Ajit Lad, who hit her on the head with a heavy object, slit her wrists and strangled her to death, he said.

The accused absconded at around 7.30 pm, leaving a note at the crime scene, saying he was going to commit suicide and had killed his wife because he was heavily in debt and she was suffering from an ailment, the official said.

The childless couple lived alone in the apartment, he added.

"On the basis of the note, we have registered a case of murder against Ajit Lad and have launched a manhunt for him. We have not traced him or found his body as he had mentioned suicide in the note," deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Zone X Ankit Goyal said.
