Just as the Nation is reeling under the rape and murder of an 8 year old Kathua girl in Kashmir, another horrific incident has rocked the Choolaimedu area in Chennai.  A three year old girl has come to visit her grandparents during her summer holidays and yesterday had gone to the Kanikaparameshwari temple near her house.

The assistant priest Udayakumar offered to have the child while the grandparents went around the temple.  The child had cried uncontrollably till she reached home and in her infant language communicated that the worst has happened to her.  Doctors also confirmed that the three year old had been raped and her parents went to the temple and thrashed Udayakumar who tried to talk his way out but the public also joined in and then handed him over to the police.
