Nagpur: Two minor girls were allegedly raped by a man at knife point in Lakadganj area here in Maharashtra, police said on Wednesday. The incident occurred Tuesday night when an unidentified man lured the girls, aged 6 and 4, into accompanying him under some pretext, when they were playing near their houses, an official release said. The man then took the girls behind bush- es at a secluded spot behind Haldiram fac- tory in Lakadganj and raped them, it said. Both the girls are neighbours. A case has been registered under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Prevention of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Nagpur Police Commissioner B K Upadhyay has said four teams of senior police officers have been formed to nab the accused. PTI ""# $!#%(%$#) "%#%) *+,*-./  " " @ :"&+ !:  &#@   ? 2   #@  @ , ;!

The shock result of the 2016 EU membership referen- dum has forced the royals into diplomatic overdrive. Not long after the referen- dum, William toured Canada, then Europe, in what was seen as a bridge-building exercise as Britain looks to retain old alliances with European and build new trade ties with the Commonwealth.
