11-year old rape victim faces trauma

Even though the incident occurred five months ago, but whenever the 11-year-old girl recounts her ordeal of rape and captivity, she starts crying on the hospital bed in Jaipur. Her sister says she cries at night out of fear and trauma.

The victim’s family said they have been receiving threats from the accused. “Such people must be hanged,” says the victim’s sister.
The victim was admitted in a serious condition to Jaipur’s J.K. Hospital from Sikar after the abduction and rape. “It will take time to cure her. She under went surgery twice,” said the victim’s mother. She said they migrated from Bihar to Sikar in search of greener pastures.
“Every thing was going well. But on August 20, my daughter was abducted by a group of people in Sikar when she was coming from a movie,” she said. The victim was raped by two youth while the accused got support from four others in the crime. “When we made a hue and cry, the accused dumped her on a roadside in Sikar, but in a critical condition,” said her mother.
“It is very difficult to pacify her, she often breaks down and starts weeping inconsolably,” says her sister. “The incident ruined our family, my father passed away long back, we are six sisters and only three of us got married,” she said. The state government provided `5 lakh as financial help to the victim. “Of course, the local people and the government gave us support, we never felt lonely, but it is not enough,” says Rehana. The victim’s mother said the family was scared of visiting their native place in Bihar. “What will people say when we visit our village, people will inquire about it and you know it is taken as stigma,” said the victim’s mother. The police in Sikar had arrested six persons, including the main accused.

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
