The accused was arrested after nearly two weeks of the incident in Tiruvallur district.The incident occurred on July 12 in Arambakkam, when the child was on her way to her grandmother's house. Police teams are now working to obtain confirmation of his identity from the survivor, either in person or via digital means.According to sources, the suspect was working at a roadside dhaba in Sulurpet and had travelled by train before committing the crime. India Today TV, which visited the crime spot, reported that the man had been loitering near the back entrance of a mango farm, where he waited for the girl. The path between two mango farms, lined with tall trees, dry leaves, and known to have snakes, was where the child had been walking alone when the suspect began to follow her.CCTV footage from the vicinity captured the girl walking on the road before being approached by the man, who then covered her mouth and abducted her.Prior to the abduction, the suspect had reportedly displayed suspicious behaviour towards a woman who was waiting for a relative to pick her up. Once inside the mango farm, he allegedly beat the child several times, bit her, and raped her. Despite being assaulted repeatedly, the child made several attempts to escape.During the assault, the suspect received phone calls, with the ringtone reportedly sounding like a Hindi song. Taking advantage of the distraction, the survivor managed to flee.- EndsMust Watch

Witnesses hostile, man freed in dowry case after 21 years in Noida
Noida: The additional sessions cum fast-track court of GB Nagar has acquitted a man of dowry death charges after 21 years. Judge Saurabh Dwivedi, after hearing both parties, concluded that the prosecution failed to establish charges against the accused. The case concerned the death of a woman who was found hanging at her house in Nov 2004. A complaint under section 304B (killing for dowry) and sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act of 1961 was registered against the deceased's husband, Neeraj Gupta, and his brother Rajiv Gupta, along with his two family members. The CJM court of GB Nagar on Jan 13, 2005, transferred the case to the additional district and sessions court–II for trial on March 4, 2008, following which the trial began on Jan 15, 2008. It was later transferred to the fast-track court on Jan 6, 2015. The prosecution failed to prove the culpability of other family members in the case, as all three family members of the deceased, who were presented as prosecution witnesses, turned hostile. The complainant in the case, Krishna Kumar, who is the woman's uncle, said that he did not name Rajiv in his statement before the police. Admitting to naming Rajiv in his deposition before the court 19 years ago, Kumar said that at that time, the entire family was in shock and grief, and he named him in an emotionally charged state of mind.

"They, however, failed to prove that the prosecution witnesses were making false claims," the defence counsel said. The court concluded that since the prosecution failed to prove beyond doubt the involvement of Rajiv Gupta in demanding dowry or attacking the deceased, he deserved to be released from section 304B of the IPC and sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.
