In Ahmedabad, in a pathetic and highly condemnable incident a 14 year old girl was admitted to VS Hospital suffering from pain in her anal part. She cannot hold her stool back as she has been grievously violated. She was raped and subjected to unnatural sex, probably multiple times and thus keeps `leaking.’ She is learning impaired, she is ruthlessly pushed from one agency to another as nobody’s seems willing to take custody of this daughter.
On Wednesday, 22 days after she was first found outside Civil Hospital, city police filed a complaint for rape and unnatural sex against unidentified persons. She was medically examined at VS Hospital on January 14 revealed that she was sexually violated. Mahnoor Saiyad, 29, who saw the girl outside the hospital on December 30, not only tended to her and gave her clothes but also became the complainant in the case on January 19, after getting to know her plight from VS Hospital.
One NGO said that this is one of the most heart-wrenching cases not only because it throws light on the plight of the learning impaired, who live in the open and are subjected to sexual assault but also because she was rejected from almost all quarters, as there is no facility in the state that keeps mentally unstable girls or women with who are incontinent. Since the medical report finding that she was raped was made only on January 14, it is obvious that she did not undergo a medical check-up according to the norms of the Juvenile Justice Act for all the days that she was in Civil Hospital, VS Hospital or at private remand home where she was earlier taken. The observation home also played choosy , being not willing to admit a `toilet untrained’ girl which is clearly against the rules. This mentally unstable girl was also shunned as a human being, because she smelled of excrement. Our sources tell us that she was thrown outside Civil Hospital, and is probably from a town in north Gujarat. She told us that she belongs to Banaskantha.
Police official told media that the girl’s father has been traced to Banaskantha and asked to reach Ahmedabad at the earliest.
Whosoever is involved in this heinous crime will not be spared. Those found negligent in performing their duty too will be taken to task said police. Lady police said they have written to Civil Hospital and the shops nearby for CCTV footage, to ascertain identity of the perpetrators. We made 4 teams to investigate the case and are working on all leads.
Sources said that a senior team of doctors, including gynaecologists and urologists, at VS Hospital met on Wednesday to decide the future course of her treatment. As her anal area is ruptured, doctors at the moment have decided to provide an outside pipe for her discharge, to keep her from agony, during which time they will observe her response to treatment. If her condition does not improve, reconstructive surgery of the anal tract is the only option, said sources. She tended to her, set ball rolling with authorities Mahnoor Saiyad became a saviour for the victim girl. She not only tended to her and cleaned her up, even while the hospital remained unsympathetic, but also became the complainant in the rape case with the women’s police station.
Saiyad’s complaint states that she saw the girl lying on the roadside in tatters, on December 30 and called on 181 Abhayam helpline. She saw her during a visit to the hospital during her own treatment. She got her a pair of clothes and had her admitted her to the hospital, said police.
