Jodhpur horror: Two youths allegedly rape 15-year-old in government hospital
Two youths allegedly raped a 15-year-old girl within the premise of the government-run Mahatma Gandhi Hospital in Rajasthan's Jodhpur city, media reports said.
The incident reportedly occurred on Sunday night.
According to Pratap Nagar assistant commissioner of police Anil Kumar, the teenager had left her home on Sunday evening after being reprimanded by her mother, reported Hindustan Times.
Her family members filed a missing person report at the Soorasagar police station on Monday after they failed to find the girl.
According to the police, the two men approached the girl after finding her alone in the hospital premises, reported Hindustan Times.
After engaging her in a conversation, they took her to a secluded area behind the hospital’s biomedical waste dumpyard where the crime was allegedly committed.
She was later recovered near the hospital.
Kumar told the newspaper that a probe has been initiated after the minor’s medical examination.
The officer said that a forensic team collected evidence from the crime scene within the hospital premises on Tuesday morning and teams have been formed to apprehend the suspects, whose identities have been preliminarily established.
Dr. Fatahsingh Bhati, superintendent of the hospital, said that while the police have not officially informed them about the suspects, internal inquiries have revealed that one of the accused was previously employed by the hospital on a contractual basis.
“The hospital staff has been directed to check the lighting around the area where the incident took place and security measures, including additional lights, are being enhanced,” he told Hindustan Times.
The incident came to light at a time when Kolkata is boiling over the rape and murder of the PG trainee doctor in the city's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
