Hyderabad: Four-year-old raped by brothers, held

Hyderabad: Two youngsters aged 18 and 20 years were arrested for allegedly abusing a four-year-old girl who happens to be their neighbor in the Rajendra Nagar area.

The sexual abuse incident came to light on Thursday after it happened on Monday when the two brothers lured the minor with sweets and took her to their terrace.

“Both the brothers sexually abused the girl. The incident was reported late to the police,” said a police official.

The police booked the two accused on Wednesday under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act after receiving a complaint from the victim’s family.

This incident took place at a time when protests are taking place over alleged rape and murder of a nine-month-old girl in Warangal.
