Disgust! Shock! Revulsion!These emotions that we all went through when we heard about the ghastly gang-rape of a medical student( Nirbhaya, Damini, many names for the brave soul who passed away) are set to be revisited as more details emerge of a brutal rape of a 5-year old in Delhi today who was starved, tortured and brutally raped. A five-year-old girl, who was raped allegedly by a neighbour after holding her captive for four days, is battling for life due to infection contracted from foreign objects found inside her body, doctors of Delhi's Swami Dayanand Hospital said today.
The doctors found a candle and a 200 ml bottle of hair oil inside her and the girl's genital area had been mutilated. She is said to be in critical condition and has been shifted to The All India Institute for Medical Sciences (AIIMS).
The case has also brought to the fore the
insensitive nature of the Delhi police, whom the vicitm's father has accused of offering him a bribe of Rs 2,000 to keep quiet and not registering a case in time. He also claims the policemen advised him to "thank god that his daughter was alive". In another shocking (to us, not to the police),
Delhi ACP slapped a girl protesting against the minor's rape outside the hospital. ACP Bani Singh Ahlawat, posted at Khajuri Khas area of east Delhi, was suspended with immediate effect for slapping and pushing Beenu Rawat, a class 12 student, said a senior police officer.
The girl was raped several times by her neighbour, who
abducted her April 15 and held her hostage in his flat in east Delhi's Gandhi Nagar for over two days, torturing her and denying her water and food, according to police.
She was rescued when her family members, who also lived on the premises,
heard her screams .The girl's mother said her daughter was kidnapped when she went out to play. "The man then locked her up in his room and raped her. I want justice from the government," she said.
Meanwhile, the victim's father has blamed the police for being late to react. He said, "If the police had taken action on time, this situation would not even have arrived. If the police had come with us at the time we complained to search the accused, he would have been found out at that time itself and it would not have taken two days to find the girl.
She is very critical and ninety nine percent chances are that she will not survive. What can you expect from a five-year-old girl from whose stomach, three candles and a bottle of oil was found. After all she is five years of age."
Dr R K Bansal of Swami Dayanand Hospital said the next 24 to 48 hours will be critical for the girl and that there were injuries and bruises on her private parts, chest, lips and cheeks. She had some bruises on her neck which indicated that the accused might have tried to strangle her.
"She was scared and not fully conscious. Initially she did not allow us to proceed with the examination as she was in tremendous pain. She had fever also and after giving medicines, it became normal. However, the fever recurred and we found she had some infection.After giving anaesthesia, more tests were conducted and we found that there were some foreign objects like candle and a 200 ml bottle of hair oil inside her body," Bansal said, adding that they were not giving her food as she had infection in her stomach also.
Bansal said it was one of the worst cases his team of doctors had attended to, saying that this is the first time that he had seen such barbarism with a five-year-old.
It seems, the men of India's capital have not learnt or been shamed from the massive public protests and social coverage of the December incident it seems. They still remain animals. But wait, as one of our reader's pointed out during our coverage of the incident,
it is an insult to animals to compare these men to them. What to call them, we are at loss.
