"Alerted by her cries, when the baby's mother and grandfather reached the terrace, the boy handed her over and fled the spot," they said, adding that the teenager was apprehended on Wednesday. In a separate incident, police in the Nandgram area of Ghaziabad have arrested two men for allegedly raping a woman near the Hindon River metro station on Sunday evening.
The woman was dragged into a car and raped
"The woman was returning from a birthday party with her 13-year-old son when four people dragged her into a car," the police said. They said, "One of the accused allegedly raped her inside the vehicle while the other three kept a watch."

DIG/SSP Amit Pathak said police arrested Asif and Shadab near the same metro station on Tuesday night. "The car used in the crime, a countrymade pistol, and one cartridge were seized from them," Pathak said, adding the other two accused will be nabbed soon. Another similar incident was reported in Ghaziabad last year where a 30-year-old man was held for raping a two-year-old girl.
30-year-old handed death penalty this year for raping 2-year-old girl
The man was awarded the death penalty by a fast-track court in Ghaziabad in January 2021 for raping and murdering the two-year-old daughter of his colleague, according to The New Indian Express. Special judge (POCSO Act), Mahendra Srivastava, termed the case as the "rarest of rare" while pronouncing the judgment and awarding the death sentence to the convict.
