A seven-year-old girl is fighting for her life after being raped with a water pipe.
It’s the latest incident in a string of shocking attacks in India that have sparked outrage.
Six men raped a woman on a bus she was taking with her male companion while beating her with an iron rod. She later died of her injuries.
In May, the body of an 8-year-old Muslim girl was found after she had been gang raped and strangled.
Three police officers and a former government official were among the eight Hindu men arrested.
That same month, police announced they had arrested a primary suspect in the gang rape and killing of a 16-year-old girl in the northeast of the country.
The man arrested was one of 20 accused in the attack.
Weeks later a man in the same state raped a 17-year-old in her relative’s home before setting her on fire.
