Close on the heels of the brutal rape and murder of a 23-year old Dalit women in Haryana’s Rohtak comes another shocker where a 10-year old minor girl is battling for her life after being raped for months by her stepfather.
The accused “father” impregnated her daughter who is now admitted to a local hospital in a serious condition. The mother of the victim, a migrant from Bihar now staying in Rohtak, took her daughter to the doctor which is when she was informed that her minor girl is 5-months pregnant. The police have arrested the accused.
Meanwhile, police inaction is being alleged in the case of rape and murder of the 23-year old woman that is reminiscent of the tragic Nirbhaya incident in Delhi which triggered widespread outrage.
The victims kin accused the police of failing to take cognizance of their earlier complaint against the accused. They say the police were informed about the acts of the accused and the threats he had hurled some time back, but to no avail. The police have denied the charge saying, the complaint was made only verbally. Later, the victims mother approached the police saying a compromise has been stuck.
The autopsy report of the victim showed her bones had been crushed in the assault, skull shattered into pieces and sharp-edged objects inserted in her private parts. As politicians across political parties made their presence felt at the mourning at the house of the victim throughout the day, the government today said a sum of Rs 10.50 lakh will be given to the family of the victim.
The family has revealed names of more people in the crime. A special investigation team (SIT) has been set up to investigate the case. Police and family suspect involvement of six more persons. Two accused, Sumit and Vikas, have been so far arrested by the police.
