A three-year-old girl from Thiruvallur district in Tamil Nadu went missing from her neighbourhood and was found in critical condition after reportedly being sexually assaulted. The child subsequently died while receiving medical treatment. A 19-year-old man, identified as Vibin Manch from Bihar, has been taken into custody by the police in relation to this tragic incident.

Details of the Disappearance

The young girl disappeared around 6 pm while playing near her home, prompting her mother to begin a search when she did not return. Local residents reported seeing a man transporting the child into a room but did not think to intervene, as both the girl’s family and the suspect were considered to be migrant workers residing in the same area.

During the search efforts, the child was discovered in a nearby thorny bush by a passerby. The condition of the girl was deemed serious, which necessitated immediate medical attention. Witnesses noted that she was found in a critical state, leading to her being taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

According to local reports, the suspect allegedly enticed the girl with a packet of biscuits, enabling him to lure her away from her vicinity. This shocking method of luring young children has raised significant concerns within the community about the safety of children.

Response and Arrest

Following the discovery of the girl, local law enforcement moved quickly to apprehend Vibin Manch. Authorities have initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident, involving multiple local residences and eyewitness testimonies. The police seek to ascertain the full details and motives behind the alleged actions of the accused.

Residents have expressed their horror at the event, with many calling for stricter laws to protect children in the area. Neighbours relayed how they attempted to assist the child upon finding her, and expressed their grief over the outcome.

The community is reportedly shaken by this incident, prompting discussions about safety measures and protective steps that could be implemented to prevent such occurrences in the future. The local authorities are under pressure to ensure that similar cases do not happen, stressing the need for increased vigilance and awareness among residents.
