Second arrest for rape of 5-year-old girl

A second suspect was arrested for the rape of a 5-year-old girl who New Delhi police say was left for dead in a locked room, a case that has brought a new wave of protests against how Indian authorities handle sex crimes.

Garment factory worker Pradeep Kumar, 19, was arrested in the eastern state of Bihar, about 1,000km from New Delhi, and was being brought to the capital, police said.

Questioning of the first man arrested in the case, Manoj Kumar, led them to the second suspect. Manoj Kumar, 24, was arrested on Saturday in Bihar and flown back to New Delhi. Kumar is a common last name in India and the two men are not related.
