8-year-olds rape and murder in India
It was early January when Asifa Bano followed a man into the forest while grazing ponies. Days later, her dead body was found. According to the police documents filed in court, 8-year-old Asifa was kidnapped and locked up in a temple shed in Kathua in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. Police claimed she was reportedly given sedatives for three days and repeatedly raped by several men, including two policemen, in the temple before she was bludgeoned to death. The court was also told that the killer waited as one of the accused policemen insisted on raping Asifa one final time before she was taken into the forest and killed.
