RAJKOT: A five-year-old is battling for life after allegedly being raped by a 22-year-old man in Morbi on Monday evening.
The accused, Ravi Badhel, was traced down by the locals, thrashed and handed over to police.
Badhel, a native of Madhya Pradesh, used to work as a painter with a local contractor.
Police said that the girl, whose father works as labourer in a ceramic unit, used to daily go to a temple close to her house at around 7:30pm to have ‘prasad’.
Badhel lived in a rented house near the survivor's house and knew about this routine.
"On Monday evening, when the girl did not return home at her usual time, her parents started searching and found her injured and bleeding in bushes near the temple. She was taken to Morbi Civil Hospital and late in the night rushed to Rajkot government children hospital as her condition deteriorated due to excessive bleeding," said RB Tarparia, investigating officer, Morbi B-division police station.
Meanwhile, locals living in the area had seen Badhel near the temple and traced him. They thrashed and handed him over to the police.
