An Indian man, Harish Sindhi, has been arrested for the alleged rape of a minor after abducting her while she was sleeping with her mentally ill mother on a footpath outside a temple in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India.
The suspect committed the crime on Saturday, August 17, 2024.
According to reports, the minor was found on Sunday morning with injuries and bite marks on her body. She was found lying down and wrapped in a red cloth around 6:30 by a woman opening her shop near the temple.
Confirming the incident, police spokesperson, ACP Anil Kumar, said a CCTV footage showed the moment the accused was taking the girl away around 2am, while she was sleeping with her mother 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 government 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.
