Police in India Arrest Another Suspect in This Five-Year Old Rape By: Nina Bharadwaj

     On Monday, said a police officer, the police in India haze arrested another man that was connected to the rape of a five-year-old girl, in New Delhi. This second man has been accused of helping this man harass the child. This has caused protests. This man is being transferred to New Delhi from Bihar, in east India. Police official, Rajan Bhagat, has said this man will be questioned and have DNA tests to prove that he involved in this case.
     Apparently, the first arrested man, named Manoj Kumar, told the police about this second man that should also be arrested. Kumar happened to be the neighbor of this girl. The story is that he abducted her on April 14. He then locked her in his home and maliciously raped her, leaving her nearly unconcious. The rape was so bad that doctors had to take out pieces of candles and a small container from the girl's private part. She is not doing very well, at the moment.
     If that story isn't bad enough, the police also happened to bribe the victim's parents' to keep the case to themselves, but that is a whole separate case.
     This assault happened just a mere four months following the gang rape of a twenty-three-year-old, that was a physiotherapy doctor in the making. This women had died, in a Singapore hospital, due to the terrible beating of these men. This attack caused many protests regarding women's rights' and the cruel treatment of women. This made officials think about the thousands of cases that had happened in the years. Now, this case is making people think about the treatment of children, especially girls.
     The Asian Center For Human Rights stated that according to numbers, about 48,338 cases of child rape had been reported in India in the years of 2001-2011. This number has greatly increased from 2,113 (2001) to 7,112 (2011).
     The case of the five-year-old caused many protests in New Delhi in the beginning of last week. Many of these protestors are part of the anti-corruption political party. The leader is Arvind Kejriwal. The Indian prime minister, Manmohan Singh calls the issue "shameful."
Analysis: The authors of this article, Jethro Mullen and Aliza Kassim, wrote this article to inform us about a terrible issue in India that has been prolonged for sometime and that is now having repercussions as now people are protesting. It is written for all audiences because we should all know what tragedies are happening around the world. It helps us learn about equality in other countries because in the U.S, all most of us know is that women and men are treated equally, as opposed to learning about the cultures of other countries. The main idea of this article is that a second suspect was found that has been involved with this rape. The family of the victim were bribed unsuccessfully to keep quiet about the case. This has caused protests about equality, everywhere in New Delhi. There was no bias, just facts about what has happened.
I think that this is awful. I don't understand why people have to harm others, especially little kids that probably don't know what is happening to them. They are so innocent, yet this incident will have caused them to be scared for life. If I was in New Delhi, I would surely be protesting because this is not right. I feel that there needs to be more protection for everyone so that this does not happen again. I don't understand because this already has happened once. People should have learned their lesson by now about protecting people, as opposed to just sitting around and letting young girls be harmed.
