A 7-year-old girl has been raped in the restroom of a running train in India’s central state of Chhattisgarh, police officials have said.

Railway police superintendent K.C. Agrawal said on Tuesday that the Indian girl was lured away from her family by a man in a park in Raipur city on Friday.

Police suspect that the man has taken the girl to a train and sexually assaulted her in the restroom sometime between Friday night and Saturday morning.

Agrawal said that the 40-year-old man was apparently the friend of the girl’s family.

The victim was left at the train station on Saturday morning. She was admitted to a hospital for treatment.

The attacker remains at large, with police teams reportedly fanning out to capture him.

The incident is the latest in a string of rape crimes that sparked nationwide outrage and protests in thecountry.
