A youth belonging to a family of land owners allegedly raped the 13-year-old daughter of a daily-wage labourer in Bihar’s East Champaran district and returned four days later to wound her grievously by inserting a stick into her genitals. Shockingly, the accused, in his late 20s, stormed the girl’s hut with his relatives, including his father, before dragging her out and brutalising her in front of her parents and neighbours on the road. She was then left for dead in front of her hut.The minor, in the throes of a grim battle for survival, is lying at a government hospital for a week now, virtually unattended. No senior administrative official or cop has visited her. A medical test was conducted only on Wednesday — 11 days after she was raped. The report was allegedly doctored to establish that she wasn’t assaulted at all. Police have dismissed the case as an affair, claiming that no evidence of sexual assault or injuries was found on the girl.
