Barely three kilometres away from Shakti Mills, the abandoned mill where a female photojournalist on assignment was gang-raped on Thursday, parents of a six-year-old girl have claimed that an unknown person molested their daughter at 8.45 pm on the same day.

According to the family, an unidentified man allegedly abducted the minor, luring her with a chocolate, while she was on her way to the local grocery store, where her father worked.
