Indore: Eight-year-old rape victim of Mandsaur has now officially got a house in scheme no 134 following the orders by chief minister Kamal Nath. She was allocated the house last year on the direction of the then chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, but no paperwork was done. When Kamal Nath came to know about this, he directed Indore Development Authority to officially allocate house in her and family members name. Congress spokesperson Narendra Saluja said that the process for allotment of a shop is also underway.
On June 26, 2018, the victim (a student of Class III) was kidnapped and gang-raped by two in Mandsaur. She was found with cut in her throat and rushed to the hospital. After the gruesome incident was reported, Chouhan had announced a rehabilitation package for the girl’s family which included a house, a shop for her father and education expenses of the girl.
Accordingly, the victim’s family was shifted to Indore where they were allotted a flat, a shop and two children from the family were admitted in reputed schools. A massive outrage broke out last year after the brutal incident sent shockwaves across the country. The two accused — Asif and Irfan were found guilty and awarded death sentence by the court in July, 2018.
