Even as the nation fumes at the brutal gangrape of a girl in Delhi, in Alwar a 6-year-old girl was hospitalized after a man lured her into an abandoned house with chocolate and raped her.
According to the child’s family, she sustained serious injuries and has been drifting in and out of consciousness. Shockingly, amid the national outrage over lack of safety for women, the Rajasthan police displayed an indifferent approach in the case, allegedly refusing to lodge an FIR for three days and forcing the family to run from pillar to post. Eventually, the girl’s kin approached the district superintendent of police and the accused was finally arrested after the senior official’s intervention on Friday.
“The girl, a class III student, was returning home after dropping her brother at school on December 17. She was intercepted by one Lokesh Gujjar, a resident of UP who lives in a rented housenear Gopal Talkies in the town,” said a family member.
Lokesh offered the girl chocolate and asked her to come to a house near her residence. He told her he would give her more chocolates inside that house,” said a family member.
The accused then raped the girl and fled from the spot, leaving her severely injured and bleeding.
The family members claim the girl somehow reached her house and fainted. She has been admitted in a hospital. Her condition is said to be stable but the bleeding is yet to stop.
The girl’s kin went to the Kotwali police station where they claim that the cops refused to lodge the FIR and even threatened them against lodging a complaint. In their complaint to Alwar SP Umesh Dutta, the family members alleged that some cops were conniving with the accused.
“We have arrested the accused and referred the FIR to the special women’s police station for further action,” said SHO, Kotwali police station Ganpat Lal.
Meanwhile, in yet another rape case, a 15-year-old girl has lodged an FIR with the Muhana police station in Jaipur alleging that a distant relative raped her in Kota. The police have arrested the accused.
According to the police, parents of the girl had gone to attend a wedding function in Baran district. “A distant relative of the girl – Jitendra alias Jeetu – came to the girl’s house on December 15 and told her a false story about her parents calling her to Kota. She went with them but Jeetu raped her there,” said a police officer. The parents registered the FIR following which Jeetu was arrested on Thursday evening.
