Justice Pursued: Arrests in Shocking Double Assault Cases

Five individuals, including an auto-rickshaw driver and a 68-year-old man, have been arrested in two separate minor sexual assault cases in India. One case involved the kidnapping and gang rape of two sisters, while the other involved the rape of a 10-year-old girl. Investigations continue.

Authorities have arrested five individuals, including an auto-rickshaw driver and an elderly man, linked to two disturbing cases of sexual assault involving minors, police reported on Tuesday.

In the first case, an auto-rickshaw driver allegedly abducted two sisters, aged 17 and 15, under false pretenses, leading them to be gang-raped. Officials state the incident occurred after the duo visited an ashram in Vrindavan. Following a distressing threat, they later managed to return to Mathura, spearheading the arrests of the driver and three others.

Separately, a 68-year-old man was detained for allegedly assaulting a 10-year-old girl. Witnesses raised the alarm, resulting in the man's capture by local residents. Authorities are continuing their investigation under stringent sections of relevant protective laws.
