New Delhi: A week after the horrific rape and torture of a four-year-old girl in Delhi, two more cases of minor girls being gang-raped have been reported from the capital. Both the girls have suffered severe injuries and are in critical condition.
In the first case, a two-and-a-half year old girl was raped allegedly by two men who abducted her from outside her house in west Delhi’s Nangloi area on Friday. Neighbours found her lying unconscious at a nearby park. She was profusely bleeding.
The girl has suffered severe damage to her private parts. A surgery has been performed to stop the bleeding. No arrests have been made in the case so far.
In another case on the same day, a five-year-old was raped allegedly by three men in east Delhi’s Anand Vihar area. The girl was reportedly alone at home when one of the accused, her neighbor, took her to his house and then allegedly raped her along with his friends.
Her neighbours saw her coming out of the accused’s house and informed the police. “She was crying and her clothes were soaked with blood,” one of them has told police. All three accused have been arrested.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal visited the five-year-old victim and tweeted: “Repeated rape of minors is shameful and worrying. Delhi police has completely failed to provide safety. What are PM n his LG doing?”
Swati Maliwal, the chairperson of Delhi Commission for Women, has said she will visit the two girls today.”Woke up to 2 incidents of gangrape of a 2.5 year old n 5 year old. Bleeding not stopping for 2.5 year old. On way to Sanjay Gandhi Hospital (sic),” she posted on twitter this morning.
