Minor Rapped in Jarkhand

Medical examination on a minor girl, who was raped on Sunday allegedly by an employee of the Uranium Corporation of India Limited at Narwapahar mines colony, has confirmed the sexually assault.
Experts at the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College Hospital confirmed that the seven-year-old girl had been sexually assaulted.
“The girl has sustained serious injuries in her genitals during the rape. This has been confirmed by both clinical and pathological examinations,” said experts in the obstetrics and gynaecology departments of the hospital.
A doctor in the department pointed out that the victim is under trauma especially because of her tender age.
“We have discharged the girl after her condition became stable. However, her parents will have to take good care of her and help her recover from the shock,” the doctor added.
The shocked parents of the victim were reluctant to speak much about the incident.
“The rapist should have thought about my daughter’s age before committing such a heinous crime. He should have thought that his drive to satisfy his urge my daughter’s life will be put in danger,” said the victim’s father in an emotional retort.
Meanwhile, the accused has been identified as Dharamdas Tigga (35) based on the victim’s statement. He was arrested within hours of the incident and has been sent in judicial custody.
Investigating officer of the case B.K. Jha said the police have started probe on the basis of information provided by the victim and her family.
The police, however, are yet to get the medical reports.
“Although the accused is denying the rape allegation, we have come across some evidence that could prove his denial as wrong. With the help of the evidence and medical reports, we expect to prove in the court that the accused is guilty of raping the minor girl,” added Jha.
