Hyderabad, June 25 -- In a case full of twists and turns, an 8-year-old was allegedly raped while going to a Ramayana reading in Uttar Pradesh's Kaushambi. The incident took place in Lohanda village in the Saini Kotwali region.

The incident first came to light on May 28, when a complaint was filed by the girl's father accusing Siddharth Tiwari alias Dhanu. The accused was arrested the next day.

Days after Tiwari's arrest, his father, Rambabu, died by suicide on June 4. In the wake of Rambabu's passing, locals protested the following day, blocking National Highway 2.

Police said a case was registered against 10 named and 25-30 unnamed individuals in connection with the highway blockade. Four were detained.
