India police arrest suspects in two child rape cases

Delhi police rescued a 17‑year‑old girl who had been missing since June 20 and arrested a 22‑year‑old suspect from Uttam Nagar. The victim’s statement led to charges under the Indian Penal Code for rape and kidnapping, as well as the POCSO Act.

In Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, police arrested three additional men in a gang‑rape of a 13‑year‑old girl after reviewing CCTV footage. The arrests bring the total number of suspects in the case to 18. Authorities also demolished three hotels linked to the crime to prevent further illegal activities.
