India News: Even as protests against the brutal rape of a five-year-old girl in the Gandhi Nagar area of East Delhi snowballed into widespread public outrage, the 22-year-old casual worker accused of the crime was brought here on Saturday.

Manoj Sah was tracked down to his in-laws' place in Bihar by the State Police in coordination with their counterparts from Delhi.

The protesters, comprising volunteers from the Aam Aadmi Party, shouted slogans outside the 10-Janpath residence of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, breached barricades and clashed with the police outside the bungalow of Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde on Krishna Menon Marg, and organised a daylong sit-in at the Delhi Police Headquarters.
