On the eve of Dussehra, a class 12 student in Surajpur district faced serious medical conditions after allegedly being drugged, beaten, and sexually assaulted by five young people.
The suspect, who was reportedly her boyfriend, was found hanging at the spot on Tuesday. The survivor stated that he and his friends had tried to kill her after the gang rape. The Surajpur police are silent about the allegation of gang rape.
Her father demands justice, saying that the five youths tried to murder the girl along with drugging and gangraping her, even as the local police claim to be “verifying” the girl’s claim. The father claims that his daughter told him that on Saturday night, she went to a Dussehra celebration a few kilometers away from home and met a boy she knew from school. After a while of conversation, he brought her a bottle of water when she got thirsty.
After drinking the water, she claimed to feel lightheaded. The former classmate offered to take her home on his motorcycle as she was feeling unwell. Instead, he forcibly took her to a deserted area where four of his friends were already waiting, she said.
The rapists took turns to rape, and when the victim resisted, she was brutally beaten. Because of the torture, they believed she had passed out. According to her father, when they attempted to check her breathing, she was barely conscious. The rapists left when the girl pretended to be dead. She spent the entire night lying there, hurt and bruised.
The girl’s parents allegedly complained to the police on October 13 that she had been beaten by some people.Her eyes seemed badly injured, and her condition was getting worse. From a nearby hospital, she was moved to Surajpur, which was about 130 km away, and then Ambikapur, which was 40 km away.
An officer later stated that the girl had reported police that she was alleging rape. Her statement was recorded by a police team that visited the hospital. After receiving a complaint, police searched for the suspects and discovered the primary accused, the former classmate, hanging near the alleged site of the rape. A source stated that his body had started to decompose.
