One of two India rape victims dies

A 12-year-old child, one of two raped in the Indian city of Pune, succumbed to her injuries on Wednesday,  Times of India reported.

The girls were playing near their house when two suspects lured them with chocolates two days earlier. They then took the girls to a secluded spot where they raped them.



The suspects warned them of dire consequences after. One of the victims, however, narrated what befell them after the other lost consciousness upon reaching home.

The deceased was initially taken to a private health facility after she fell into a coma. She was shifted to a public hospital after.

Police claimed to have nabbed the suspects following the registration of an FIR.
