1. Toddler Raped by Man in Front of His Children
In a shocking incident, a one- and-a-half-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a 33-year-old man in the presence of his two children, the police said today.
The incident took place yesterday and the accused was arrested today, they said.
The girl had gone to her neighbour's house to play with their two children -- a four-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter.
While his wife was on the terrace for some work, the accused raped the girl in presence of his two children inside his one-room accommodation, a senior police official said.
After the girl returned home, her mother found her bleeding from the private parts and took her to a hospital where it was found that she had been sexually assaulted, he said.

2. 19-Year-Old Gangraped in Bhopal for 3 Hours
For three hours, a 19-year-old college girl was tied up and raped by four men, who took breaks for tea and gutka before returning to assault her repeatedly under a bridge in the heart of Bhopal.
What happened after the rapists let her go was no less horrifying. Three police stations refused to take her complaint — although both her parents are in police — and a GRP officer mocked her for "coming with a filmy story".
The parents — her father is a sub inspector with a security force and mother with the CID — and the girl nabbed two of the suspects in a dramatic daylight scuffle on Wednesday. Only then was a complaint registered. An embarrassed police force suspended SI RN Tekam of MP Nagar police station on Thursday for not accepting her complaint.
