Police in India are questioning several people in connection with the brutal rape and murder of a six‑year‑old in the northern state of Haryana.
Her body was found on Sunday close to her home from where she was allegedly abducted last Friday.
The extent of the injuries to the child have horrified Indians, with many drawing parallels with the 2012 Delhi bus rape that caused massive outrage.
The child's mother told BBC that they wanted justice.
Police have detained three of her husband's relatives for questioning but no arrests have been made so far.
The government has formed a special investigative team as public pressure mounts on authorities to catch those responsible for the crime.
In another incident, one man has been arrested over the alleged gang rape of a teenage cancer patient from the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.
The girl has alleged that she was abducted and raped by two men, and when she approached a neighbour for help he raped her as well.
Scrutiny of sexual violence has grown in India since the 2012 gang rape and murder of a 23‑year‑old student on a bus in the capital Delhi.
The crime sparked days of protests and forced the government to introduce tougher anti‑rape laws, including the death penalty.
However, brutal sexual attacks against women and children continue to be reported across the country.
