Two Indian girls, aged two and five, have been raped in separate incidents in New Delhi, police say, with at least one confirmed as a gang rape.
The younger child was abducted late on Friday by two men from a religious event in west Delhi's Nangloi area and sexually assaulted before being dumped in a park near her home, police and relatives said.
Pushpendra Kumar, West Delhi police chief, said they found the younger child bleeding profusely several hours after she went missing and that tests showed she had been raped at least once.

"We have launched a manhunt for the suspects. So far no-one has been arrested," Mr Kumar said.
In a separate incident, a five-year-old girl was gang-raped by three men in New Delhi's eastern Anand Vihar area on Friday night after being lured to a neighbour's house, police said.
"Her clothes were partially torn with blood spots all over them. Some locals saw her and she told them she was sexually assaulted," an officer from Anand Vihar police station said on condition of anonymity.
Tests later confirmed she had been subjected to multiple assaults, the officer said.
Both girls are undergoing medical treatment but are believed to be out of danger, police said.
'When will Delhi wake up?'
The incidents come one week after a four-year-old girl was allegedly raped and slashed with a blade before being abandoned by a railway track in the capital.
Police arrested a 25-year-old man over the attack in which the young girl suffered severe internal injuries and had apparently been slashed with a sharp object.
