Delhi, India (CNN) A five-year-old girl has been abducted, raped and murdered in the Indian city of Mumbai -- the latest in a series of sexual attacks on women and young girls to shock the country.

The girl was abducted in the city's Mahim neighbourhood early Thursday while sleeping with her parents and three siblings in a pavement shack.

Mumbai Police Deputy Commissioner Vikram Deshmane told CNN her parents approached officers after realizing their daughter was missing. Her body was found shortly afterward on the roadside nearby.

An autopsy confirmed she had been raped.

Deshmane said initial investigations suggested only one person was involved. Police are checking CCTV footage of nearby buildings.
