    Sanjeev, who is also a distant relative of the woman, came to meet the family and took her daughter to his house to play with her on Friday.

    After some time, the mother heard her baby crying loudly and rushed to Sanjeev’s house where she found her daughter lying naked and bleeding.

    She immediately shouted for help. Sanjeev was immediately caught and roughed up by the family and other people in the neighbourhood.

    He was handed over to the police. Meanwhile, the survivor was sent for treatment. The child’s condition is stable and she was discharged on Saturday. Additional SP Shirish Chandra said, "We have arrested the accused and he has been booked under sections 376 (rape) of IPC along with sections 5 and 6 of the Pocso Act.

    The accused, who is unmarried and unemployed, has confessed to his crime and has been sent to the Sambhal district jail."

    Maybe we can bury the lead a little bit on that title? It feels a bit gratuitous.

        You do it like they did in the actual article. You dont include the quote in the headline and lets people approach the horrible details at their own pace.

        I actually googled it since the last time this came up. Both are acceptable and the lede spelling is so that 19th century typesetters didnt confuse lead with the metall. I am not a journalist and I am not a typesetter so in the same way I don’t use specialist medical language in daily conversation, I will use the normal spelling of lead that makes sense.
