India police arrest second man over Delhi girl rape

Police in India say they have arrested a second man in connection with the kidnapping and rape of a five-year-old girl in the capital, Delhi, last week.

The man was arrested in Bihar state early on Monday. A suspect was also held in Bihar over the weekend.

The condition of the girl is reported to have improved, as protests over the attack continue.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has called the assault an example of "depraved behaviour".

On Saturday, police arrested the first suspect, who has been remanded in custody.

Another man allegedly present during the incident was subsequently arrested in Lakhisarai district in Bihar and was being brought to Delhi, police said.
