Surgery a month away, Sikar rape victim has nowhere to go

NEW DELHI: The fate of the 11-year-old gang rape victim from Sikar in Rajasthan, who was admitted in AIIMS recently, continues to hang in balance. The institute doctors have advised the victim's family to come after a month for another surgery—till the time she gets stable enough to undergo the procedure requiring surgical repair of the private parts. But family members say they have nowhere else to go.

"My sister's condition has improved slightly. She is able to eat and speaks a little. But she is not fit enough to be discharged. Also, we do not want to take her back to Jaipur where the accused are still walking free," the victim's elder sister said. She said they fear for her life.

AIIMS spokesperson Dr Y K Gupta said the patient was recovering well but a decision on surgery is yet to be taken. "I am not aware if any decision to discharge has been taken or not," he said.

The 11-year-old had been abducted by six men in August last year, gang-raped and thrashed so badly that her private parts were completely damaged. The doctors said she had suffered a complete perineal tear — there was no partition of muscle left between her rectum and vagina. "She has already undergone multiple procedures for repair of the vagina and rectum. We are waiting for the infection to settle before putting her through another procedure," said a doctor.

Poonam Azad, wife of MP Kirti Azad, who was instrumental in getting the patient referred to AIIMS, said that the family is terrified to go back to Rajasthan but they cannot afford private accommodation in the capital.

The youngest of seven siblings—six sisters and one brother—from Darbhanga in Bihar, the victim came to Sikar with her mother in 2011 for work after her father died. She was abducted from a town bus stand by six men who left her for dead after committing the crime.

The brutality involved in the gang rape case notwithstanding, what has shocked people more is the apathy of police. Till a day after the incident, police refused to even register a case, family members said. Pressure from locals and women's organizations who held protests ensured that a case was finally registered. Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar spoke to Ashok Gehlot, his Rajasthan counterpart, following which the administration swung into action.
