Vijay Singh, a senior police officer investigating the case, said the girl was raped and beaten with stones on Thursday.
"We are questioning the men in our custody and trying to help the victim's father obtain best medical care for the child," Singh said, adding that the victim lived in a slum with her parents, both working as daily wage earners.
