The body of a four-year-old girl was dumped in a well after she was raped and murdered in India last week. 
The child was raped Thursday night and her body was discovered in a well on Friday morning in Chhatarpur, in the northern state of Madhya Pradesh, police said. 
'The post-mortem report has revealed the girl was subjected to sexual assault and homicide,' Chhatarpur Superintendent of Police (SP) Kumar Saurabh told reporters. 
'A case is being registered and suspects are being interrogated.'   
Police are accused of being negligent in the handling of the case, Gulf News reported. 
Saraubh said that an investigation into the allegations is underway.  
'If it is found true, those involved will be suspended,' Saurabh said.

Another man was arrested today after he allegedly stole a one-year-old girl from her mother and raped her in a secluded location in Punjab. 
The child's mother told reporters that she found the 45-year-old man, who was one of her neighbours, as he committed the crime. 
'I thought he might have taken my daughter to play with her but after some time I heard her screams. When I went there, I found that the accused was raping my daughter,' the victim said. 
A medical examination of the girl confirmed she had been raped. 
There were some 40,000 rapes reported in India in 2016, according to the most recent official figures available.

In 2018, the Indian government buckled under public pressure and approved capital punishment for repeat offenders and for individuals who rape children under the age of 12.
Activists claim the 40,000 number is just the tip of the iceberg as many victims are afraid to report the crimes due to threats by perpetrators or the social stigma attached to sexual assaults. 
Before the coronavirus outbreak, a string of violent sex attacks prompted outrage and nationwide protests.
