NB Twitter Soch | 12-yr-old girl, raped and bleeding, walks naked seeking help on Ujjain streets; Priest helps her, police donates blood

Ujjain, Sept 27: In a horrifying crime, a 12-year-old girl, semi-naked and bleeding after rape, went door to door asking for help. People stared at her but refused to help. One man was seen shooing her away as she approached him for help. The video of this incident, caught on CCTV, went viral.

 

This incident has once again raised question marks against society, administration and others over on safety of girl child and women in society.

  

 

The incident occurred at Badnagar road, about 15 km from Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh.

 

The girl, who reportedly walked for more than eight kilometres and over two-and-a-half hours, was finally helped by a priest of an ashram where she reached on foot. A priest who suspected sexual violence, covered her with a towel and rushed her to the district hospital. The medical examination confirmed rape.

 

Police have registered a case of rape against unidentified accused. The stringent Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act has also been invoked. “A case has been registered under Mahakal police station in the district against unknown people in which rape incident has come to light and it has been confirmed in a medical examination,” said Sachin Sharma, Superintendent of Police (SP) Ujjain on Wednesday.

 

 

“In this case, due to the critical condition of the girl, she was referred to Indore. A policeman also donated blood as she had lost a lot of blood,” said Sachin Sharma, Superintendent of Police (SP, Ujjain).

 

 

 

A SIT (Special Investigation Team) has been formed and an investigation is underway, the police official said.

The SP also made an appeal to the public to inform the police if they have information about the incident.

 

 

When a senior police officer asked the girl her name and her address, she could not answer coherently. On a question on the location where the crime took place, the officer said, "This is being investigated. We would come up with the information soon."

 

"The girl was not able to tell us exactly where she is from. But her accent suggests she is from Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh," he added.
