Yesterday (14 June 2026) evening, the three-year-old daughter of a couple from North India went missing in the SIPCOT area. A search of the vicinity revealed the child lying injured in a thorny bush. She was immediately taken to Gummidipoondi Government Hospital, and after receiving first aid, was transferred to Stanley Government Hospital in Chennai for advanced treatment. However, she passed away there as treatment proved unsuccessful.
During the initial police investigation, it was alleged that four migrant workers from North India had lured the child away with biscuits and subjected her to gang rape.
Bipin Manjhi (19), a native of Bihar, has been arrested in connection with the incident. Police are searching for the remaining three suspects who were initially implicated.
Condemning the incident, local villagers staged protests, including a road blockade, and engaged in arguments with police officers who arrived to pacify them.
Police have reiterated that the investigation is ongoing and have urged the public to await official updates rather than spreading unverified claims.
