Madhya Pradesh, June 29: A 20-year-old labourer was arrested in Madhya Pradesh’s Mandsaur on Thursday for allegedly raping an 8-year-old girl, and slitting her throat, thus leaving her to die. According to a report on Hindustan Times, Khan took the girl who was waiting for her father after school to a secluded place, and raped her there. There he slit her throat with a sharp object, and left her there so that she could die.

Reportedly, late Thursday night, the girl was found in a pool of blood near her school and admitted to MY Hospital in Indore in a critical state. The girl is responding to the treatment and is in a little stable condition. However, due to the sudden shock of sexual harassment, she is mentally disturbed. Under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, police booked Irfan for kidnapping and rape.

With the help of CCTV footages, the culprit was nabbed within 24 hours. The victim's father has demanded death sentence for Irfan to get justice for his daughter.
