A 25-year-old man was arrested on charges of raping a five-year-old girl on the premises of an embassy in the Indian capital, Delhi . The BBC reports it. The man was arrested Sunday after the victim's parents filed a police report. The girl is in stable condition. The family lives in the embassy, where the father works in the cleaning staff. According to the police, the accused, a driver, is not an employee of the diplomatic office.
The American Embassy complex is one of the safest in the Indian capital with multiple levels of security and surveillance. The girl's family, whose father is employed as a cleaner, lives in the compound.
The violence was discovered when the little girl returned home, reporting pain to her intimate parts to her mother. After a hasty visit to the hospital, which confirmed the horrible suspicion, the parents ran to the police. The agents arrested the rapist shortly after, without criminal record, still at home, quiet, apparently unaware of the amount of the sentence that awaits him if he is convicted. The man, whose name has not been released, in fact risks the death penalty, according to the severe legislation introduced in the country for this type of crime in 2018 : an amendment to the law for the prevention of sexual offenses on children provides for the sentence capital for all perpetrators of rape against children under 12 years.
