New Delhi: It has been two days since a four-year-old girl was found raped in the national capital but Delhi Police are still clueless and hoping that the girl may give them some clue about her attacker.

The child was found lying in a pool of blood by a passerby near a railway track in north Delhi’s Keshav Puram area around 7 p.m. on Friday, hours after she went missing from her house.

“We have registered a case under sections Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POSCO) Act and a manhunt has been launched to arrest the accused, who is yet to be identified,” a police official said.

The official said that police have detained some suspected people and hope the real culprit would be caught soon.

According to the official, the investigators are handicapped as the victimised child is not in a condition to give any statement.

“We can arrest the attacker easily if the girl gives us some clue about the culprit,” the official said.

Meanwhile, Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chairperson Swati Maliwal met the child at the hospital.

“Visited the little girl, her condition can’t be described. Horrific. Her parents are extremely poor. When will this heinous crime stop in Delhi (sic),” Maliwal tweeted.

“In 2014, only nine accused were convicted in Delhi in crime against women. Can you imagine! Tabhi to Delhi mei kisi ko darr nahi hai (That’s why no one is scared in Delhi),” she tweeted.

The police official said that the girl was bleeding profusely when she was found by the railway tracks. “She was rushed to Mahavir Hospital from where she was referred to Safdarjung Hospital. She is undergoing treatment,” police said.

“The girl is sexually assaulted. She is still in pain, but she is conscious and out of danger,” said Safdarjung Hospital medical superintendent A.K. Rai.

He added that the girl was brought to Safdarjang Hospital around 8 p.m. on Friday with injuries on her private parts.

Police said the girl, whose father is a painter, was playing outside her house when she went missing.

“The victim’s family members approached police after they failed to find her,” said a police official.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
