6-Year-Old Delhi Girl Critical After Being Raped Allegedly By Stepfather

Darpan News Desk IANS, 20 May, 2017 12:53 AM
    A six-year-old girl is battling for her life at AIIMS after allegedly being raped by her stepfather in South Delhi's Saket area.
     
    The incident comes close on the heels of a similar incident in Haryana's Rohtak district.
     
    The girl has suffered internal injuries and is undergoing treatment at the hospital. The police have registered a case and arrested the accused.
     
    A woman in the neighbourhood saw the girl bleeding and informed the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) on its 181 women helpline.
     
    The commission sent its team, including a counsellor, and also informed the police.
     
     
    "When the DCW team reached the minor's house, they saw that the girl was in pain and bleeding. Meanwhile, the police also reached her house and took the girl and her parents to a police station along with the woman who had informed the DCW about the incident," a DCW statement said.
     
    The girl in her statement said that her stepfather took her to his workplace and allegedly sexually assaulted her. She alleged that he beat her up and threatened to kill her if she told anyone about the incident.
