Madhya Pradesh Horror: Despite Government’s Strict Law, Five Minor Girls Raped and Brutalised in One Week

Bhopal, December 25: Five minor girls were allegedly raped and brutalised in different parts of Madhya Pradesh in the past week. The horrific incidents are taking place despite the state government's strict law. The latest incident took place in Chitrakoot of Damoh district where an eight-year-old girl was raped and brutalised. As per the police, the child was raped on December 17, but she had to endure the trauma and pain within the four walls of her house as her mother is paralysed and bedridden and couldn’t inform the police.

Matter came to the fore after the victim's father, who was out of town for work, returned on December 22, and then took the minor to the police. Police said that the child was playing outside her house on December 17 when the accused lured her to his home on some pretext and raped her. The child returned home in tears and told her mother, but she couldn’t go out and seek anyone’s help. This is the fifth child rape to be reported in the state in 10 days, including the gang-rape of two minors.
