India police arrest suspects in child abduction and assault cases in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra

Police in Uttar Pradesh arrested two men after a 13‑year‑old girl was abducted by an e‑rickshaw driver, Nresh, and his accomplice. The girl resisted an attempted rape, escaped, and alerted authorities, leading to a night‑time operation that captured the suspects and wounded a police constable.

In Maharashtra, Nagpur police registered a case under the POCSO Act after a 12‑year‑old girl was allegedly raped repeatedly. Two suspects, 24‑year‑old Saurabh Rajesh Jambhulkar and a 14‑year‑old boy in conflict with the law, were taken into custody. Both investigations highlight the use of technical evidence and swift police response to protect minors.

These incidents underscore heightened scrutiny of child safety and the application of stringent legal provisions across Indian states.
