A man named Dalpat, an accused in the brutal gang-rape of a six-year-old in Hapur, Uttar Pradesh, was reportedly spotted in Amroha but couldn't be nabbed despite police being alerted, a report in TOI said.

The accused was seen with country-made liquor near his native Mahmooodpur village on Monday.

Two more people were involved in the heinous crime and they are also at large.

Days after the incident, the police released sketches of the three accused.

Hapur SP Sanjeev Suman had said earlier that the case will be solved soon and added that eight teams have been formed.

But six days later, the accused are still on the run.

Shockingly, even after being told that Dalpat could be in Amroha, police failed to arrest him.

Besides Dalpat's photo, police also released images of teams involved in the operation. For days now, teams of police have been combing areas of Hapur and Amroha but tellingly they haven't made a breakthrough.

She has suffered excessive blood loss, internal injuries, and would require more surgeries as her private parts are also damaged.
