Minor Girl With Down Syndrome Raped Left On Tracks To Die In Delhi What The World Coming To


The teenager, a juvenile, who has been held for the assault on the girl on Wednesday, is said to have molested her in the past which the girl could not report owing to her ailment. She suffers from Down's Syndrome. The Police told Hindustan Times that the boy had dragged the victim into the bushes on the evening of May 13 and raped her till she lost consciousness. He then tried to slit her throat and dumped the body along the railway track of Pul Prahladpur in South Delhi. Apart from the wound of the slit mark, the police have also found bite marks all over her body, including her genitals. The girl is battling for her life at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) after having undergone a series of surgeries to stop the bleeding from the injuries she sustained. “She had undergone a major perineal repair surgery on May 18. She is in a critical condition but stable at the moment,” said Dr DK Sharma, medical superintendent, AIIMS. "She might need another corrective surgery in a month or so”.



The girl had been living at her maternal uncle's house since her parents died. On May 13, she left the house to fetch water from a tank for the house but when she did not return till late night, her family filed a report with the police.

"Four teams went to the forest, the nearby market and houses of her friends but could not locate her. The next morning she was spotted along the railway tracks by a local. She was rushed to the hospital. In the past one week, she underwent two surgeries and is under observation,” an investigator told HT.

Speaking to the media, her aunt kept crying, "I should have accompanied her. She could not talk properly and suffers from a hearing impairment also. She could not have even raised an alarm,” she said.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal went to AIIMS to meet the family of the girl this morning.
