This is what happens when crimes are not held in check. Malaysia is miles ahead of India and heaven forbid that it degenerates to this.

NEW DELHI — A four-year-old girl who was raped and dumped near a crematorium in central India died on Monday evening from cardiac arrest, an official said yesterday.
The girl, the daughter of poor construction workers, was lured from her home in the town of Ghansor in Madhya Pradesh state on April 17, and found the next day by her parents, bleeding profusely, the police said.
The girl suffered cardiac arrest and died at a hospital in Nagpur city in neighbouring Maharashtra state, where she was being treated for injuries from the assault, said Mr Bharat Yadav, Collector for Seoni district, where the attack occurred.
The police have arrested Firoz Khan, 27, a welder who worked at the nearby Jhabua Power Plant, for the attack.
They have also arrested a second man, Rakesh Chaudhary, 25, who allegedly took the girl to her attacker, but did not rape her himself.
“The investigation is going on,” said Mr Mithlesh K Shukla, Seoni’s Superintendent of Police.
“They will be charged soon and we will ensure that they get the strictest punishment.”
India has seen a recent sharp rise in the number of rapes and sexual crimes against women and children. Officials say the spike has resulted from more people reporting the crimes.
Earlier last month, a five-year-old girl was kidnapped, raped and tortured by two men, who then abandoned her in a locked room in New Delhi. She is still recovering at a hospital in the city.
Police refused to register a case when the girl’s parents reported that their daughter was missing.
Hundreds of people protested outside the police headquarters in New Delhi for three days, angry over allegations of police inaction and indifference to the parents’ complaints.
In mid-March, a Swiss woman said she was gang-raped while camping with her husband near Orchha — an emerging tourist destination in the central state of Madhya Pradesh.
The recent attacks come four months after the fatal gang-rape of a 23-year-old woman on a New Delhi bus sparked protests and outrage across India about the treatment of women in the country.
The December attack spurred the government to pass tough laws for crimes against women, including the death penalty for repeat offenders or for rape attacks that lead to the victim’s death.
