A 15-year-old girl has been brutally r*ped in the hospital while
receiving treatment for injuries she suffered from a previous r*pe,
authorities in India said.
According to reports, the girl said she was s*xually assaulted by a
security guard at a hospital in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand,
which is mostly impoverished.
She had been admitted to the medical facility several days before
after telling police she had been r*ped by a teenager in her
neighborhood, Agence France-Presse reported.
“We registered a case and arrested the private security guard posted at the hospital after the girl’s complaint and are now awaiting her medical report,”
police superintendent Chandan Jha told AFP.
The victim was sent to another hospital for treatment, the wire
service reported. Her first alleged attacker was arrested and sent to a
juvenile detention facility.
R*pe and assaults against females in India, including children and
teenagers, has been the recent focus of increased attention and efforts
to reform the country’s treatment of girls and women.
