A man has been apprehended for the alleged rape of a minor in India.
According to reports, the man, identified as Harish Sindhi, is accused of raping the victim after allegedly abducting her while she was sleeping with her mother on a footpath outside a temple in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India on Saturday, August 17, 2024.
The minor was found on Sunday morning, with injuries and bite marks on her body, and lying wrapped in a red cloth around 6:30 by her woman opening her shop near the temple.
Confirming the incident, the Police spokesperson, ACP Anil Kumar, a CCTV footage showed the moment the accused was taking the girl away around 2am, while she was sleeping with her parents outside the temple.

Her mother is mentally ill and sits outside the temple with her five-year-old son.
Condemning the incident, former chief minister Ashok Gehlot said,
“The rape of a three-year-old girl in Jodhpur is deeply disturbing. This crime has caused outrage among the public. Such incidents are creating an atmosphere of fear among the people of Rajasthan. This is an example of criminals becoming fearless due to the diminishing authority of govt and police.”
“Incidents of shootings in broad daylight, robberies, murders and rapes are increasing in Jodhpur and the law and order situation has deteriorated. I have repeatedly urged Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma to take immediate necessary steps to prevent crime in the state,” he said.
