Recently, a "lecherous" man from Madhya Pradesh was reportedly prevented from raping a 10-year-old girl by his alert wife.

To get into the details, 25-year-old Saku Netam went to the house of a 10-year-old girl, belonging to a friend's family, with the intention of raping her. His suspicious wife had cast an eye on him. She followed him, only to find out that her hubby was about to undress the little girl.

As soon as the wife raised an alarm and before the neighbours could gather to get hold of him, the hubby ran away. He is currently absconding. He has been charged under the Indian Penal Code as well as the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

The incident only goes to show that rapes in India continue unabated.
