A neighbour informed the police that the child was bleeding profusely and in acute pain, following which she was rushed to Government Multi-Specialty Hospital, Sector 16, where she underwent surgery.
“We have apprehended a suspect. We are yet to record the child’s statement as she remains unconscious. We will register a rape case following her statement. After registering the case, we will get the suspect identified from the victim and formally arrest him. Her parents are labourers,” a police official said.
