Six-year-old girl in Rajasthan allegedly raped by neighbor; hospitalized

Didwana: In a horrific incident of brutality against children, a six-year-old girl was raped by a youth from her neighbourhood in Rajasthan’s Didwana-Kuchaman district on Tuesday after he lured her with ice cream and chocolates, police said. The accused is absconding after the sexual assault.

The incident came to light in Makrana district. Makrana CO Bhawani Singh said that the neighbouring youth took the girl to his house on Tuesday night on the pretext of giving her ice cream and chocolate where he raped her. As the girl’s condition deteriorated after the rape, the accused fled the scene while the girl somehow reached home and narrated the incident to the family, police said.

According to police, the family took the girl to Government Sub-District Hospital as her condition worsened. After initial treatment, the girl was referred to Ajmer for specialised treatment. CO Bhawani Singh Shekhawat and Makrana police station constable Rajesh Kumar reached the hospital with police and enquired about the incident. Police have launched an investigation into the incident and have launched a manhunt for the accused.

After receiving information about the incident, Makrana Sub-Divisional Officer Sunil Kumar, Tehsildar Raghavendra and Deputy Superintendent of Police also reached the hospital to enquire about the victim’s condition. Makrana CO Bhavani Singh, meanwhile, said that the family has not filed any report on the case so far. “However, the police have started investigation. A case will also be registered based on the report,” the Makrana CO said.
