A 2-year-old girl is in a critical condition after she was allegedly raped by 14-year-old boy and had her throat slit.

The 14-year-old boy who was the last person seen playing with her has been arrested over the incident in Northern India.

The girl lived with her parents in a slum area of Model Town area, in Ludhiana, which is located near a railway colony.

The girl had been left outside by her mother when she was taken away.

She was found in an abandoned room, covered in blood with her throat slit and a sharp-edged weapon nearby.

Her father, who works as a street vendor, said she had been playing with a 14-year-old boy before she went missing.

He said: ‘When we realised that our daughter was not playing outside the house we started to search for her. During the search we heard screams from an abandoned room that was locked from the outside.

‘We broke the lock and our daughter was inside lying half naked. Her throat was slit with a sharp-edged weapon and she was bleeding. We immediately rushed her to the hospital.’

The 14-year-old boy who was the last person seen playing with her has been arrested over the incident in Northern India.

Dr Baldeep Singh, a pediatrician at Deep Hospital, said: ‘The girl was brought to the hospital in a critical condition. She was bleeding profusely from her neck and private parts. Her throat was slit but fortunately the windpipe was intact so we managed to save her life.

‘She is currently on a ventilator and is stable.’

Dr Baldeep confirmed she had been raped.

Station house officer Beant Juneja, of Ludhiana, said they have arrested a 14-year-old boy who lived near the girl but originally comes from Bihar, one of India’s poorest states.

Officer Beant Juneja said: ‘We found the boy at a bus station trying to escape. We have now arrested him and charged him with rape and attempted murder.’

In a 2013 annual report from the National Crime Records Bureau, 24,924 cases of rape were reported across India in 2012.
