Two men have been arrested over the brutal rape of a seven‑year‑old girl in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh amid massive public anger.
Hundreds of people have been out on the roads demanding justice for the victim, who is still in hospital with grievous injuries including stab wounds.
India police say that the child was abducted outside her school.
People, including the chief minister of the state have demanded the death penalty for the rapists while the state's lawyers union have also refused to represent the accused men in court.
Police say they were able to make the arrests after watching CCTV footage from near the school, which clearly showed one of the accused walking away with the girl after offering her sweets.
