The protestors are out on the streets of Delhi demanding justice for a minor girl who was just Five years old.
A five-year-old girl was brutally raped and assaulted allegedly by her neighbour while being held captive and starved for two days in east Delhi's Gandhi Nagar. She also contracted infection from foreign objects inserted in her body. Apart from severe internal injuries which necessitated surgery, the child has infections and bite marks. The girl was discovered by her neighbours who then alerted the girl's parents on April 15. The girl is presently undergoing treatment at AIIMS and is alert and showing signs of recovery. The horrific incident has shocked the nation yet again after the infamous Delhi Gang Rape case. To make matters worse the Gandhi Nagar police allegedly tried to hush up the matter by offering sum of Rs. 2000 to the parents of the victim to not pursue the case. Children are going missing across the country and there seems to be no concerted effort to tackle this epidemic. Add to this, the fact that sexual assault on minors is also on the rise. Shocking figures from a report by the Asian Centre for Human Rights (ACHR) state that child rape cases in India have witnessed a 336% rise since 2001.
The fact remains that rape cases are underreported to begin with. Nonetheless, in Delhi itself, police records show that this is the fifth case of sexual abuse of a minor reported in just one week in April. An article in the New York Times blogs, says that in 2011, 2,582 rape victims in India were less than 14 years of age, or about 10 percent of the total number of reported rape cases.
