ALWAR: Two days after a 15-year old, speech-impaired girl was allegedly raped and brutally assaulted before being abandoned on a flyover in Alwar, Rajasthan police are yet to make any breakthrough in the case.
Police are hoping to find clues in CCTV camera footage, but are yet to zero in on a suspect. Earlier, a special investigation team (SIT) was formed to investigate the alleged assault during which sharp objects were inserted into her private parts. Alwar SP Tejaswani Gautam said investigations were underway.
Meanwhile, the minor is recuperating at the city’s JK Lone Hospital where she had to undergo a surgery on We-dnesday. Food and civil supplies minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas said, “This is a very serious offence, which will not be tolerated. The accused will be meted out the sternest punishment.”
Rajasthan police said that the girl’s parents were working at a farm on Tuesday when she left the house around noon to meet her relatives who live in the same village. Around 3.30pm, a woman spotted the girl hailing a tempo. She was discovered on the flyover bleeding around 7.40pm.
The State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) has taken suo motu cognisance of the rape and sought arrest of the perpetrators of the crime at the earliest. It has directed the district police superintendent to submit a detailed inquiry report by the next hearing on January 18.
