The Delhi Police has arrested the second accused in the rape case of five-year-old girl, from Bihar.

Investigators had on Sunday launched a hunt for the second rapist after first accused Manoj Kumar spoke about the role of another man in the incident over which protests in Delhi demanding the removal of Police Commissioner erupted for a third day

The girl, a resident of east Delhi's Gandhi Nagar, was abducted by Manoj, a labourer, who lived on the ground floor of the same house in the working class neighbourhood. He kept her hostage for two days without food and water and subjected her to brutal repeated rape.

She was rescued when her family members heard her screams Wednesday, police said. The accused had locked the door from outside and fled, thinking that she had died.

An AIIMS doctor said that the girl is improving well and responding to antibiotics.
