Not long ago, in fact this year last month, a class XII girl was allegedly kidnapped by four unidentified goons in a car from outside her college in UP. In August this year, a 3-year-old girl was allegedly abducted and raped by an unidentified person and later dumped near a bridge in Bhopal.

The NCRB report also listed 4,437 reported cases of attempted rape in 2015.
