“Am on my way to hospitals to meet rape victims”, he tweeting while going to visit the survivors.
In a gruesome incident, a 2.5-year-old girl was allegedly raped in Nangloi area of the capital on Friday. A case has been registered while the accused are still at large.
In a separate incident on the same day, a five-year-old was also raped allegedly by three men in east Delhi’s Anand Vihar area. The girl was reportedly alone at home when one of the accused, her neighbour, took her to his house and then allegedly raped her along with his friends.
The victim’s parents were not at home when the incident happened. The suspect is said to have lured her on some pretext and sexually assaulted her. The cries of the girl alerted other neighbours, who thrashed the three suspects and handed them over to the police. The girl has been admitted to GTB Hospital where her condition is said to be stable.
“She was crying and her clothes were soaked with blood,” said one of the neighbours who saw her coming out of the house.
