Teenagers arrested for raping toddler in New Delhi

Police in New Delhi have arrested two teenagers for raping a toddler in the latest incident of sexual violence against young children.

AP reports that the two-year-old girl was abducted, raped and left bleeding in a park.

The two 17-year-old boys were arrested late Saturday.

Police say the toddler was playing outside her home when she went missing during a 10-minute power outage in the neighbourhood. Family members found her lying unconscious and bleeding in a park three hours later.

In a separate incident, police on Saturday arrested three men for raping a 5-year-old in an east Delhi suburb.

The rape of the two girls came a week after a 4-year-old girl was found dumped near a railway track after being raped and slashed with a blade in the capital.
