Five-year-old girl of Haryana confirms that despite the cyclical media and civil society outrage, cities continue to be unsafe for women and children. In the latest case of sexual violence, the child from Haryana’s Hisar was raped and tortured to death. A wooden stick was found thrust in her vagina with such force that it caused serious injuries to her uterus and intestine – a horrific reminder of the Delhi gang-rape of a physiotherapist on a moving bus in December in 2012.
“I slept at 9 pm along with my children. When I woke up in the morning, my daughter wasn’t there… I couldn’t find her. I asked the neighbors, they said they haven’t seen her. Then someone told me that your daughter has been killed. I got to know about this at 7 am,” the girl’s mother told
The girl’s body was found in a pool of blood with injuries on her shoulders, waist, and nose.
Reetu Gupta, the doctor who conducted the post-mortem, told “The victim died due to the torture perpetrated by inserting a wooden stick into her private parts. The stick was inserted with force which not only caused serious injuries inside uterus but also in the intestine.”
The family of the victim has refused to cremate the body until the culprit is arrested but no one has been arrested yet. Haryana recorded the highest rate of gang-rapes per lakh woman population in the country, followed by Rajasthan.
