A truly horrifying story

Girl Gets Raped While Getting Treated for Rape

​A 15-year-old girl was last week victim to two separate rape attacks in the same day. 

The first occurred in a street in India by a teenage boy. She then went to seek medical help from trusted professionals. 

But a security guard at the hospital tricked her mother into going out on an errand, as part of a ploy to get her out the building so he could rape the young girl again.

The police report detailed what happened thereafter:

Police arrested the accused, identified as Shambhu Mahato, on Monday morning from a locality of the steel city, about 130 km from capital Ranchi.Police also detained 12 fellow security guards, including a woman, for allegedly helping Mahato to flee after committing the crime at the Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Hospital (MGMCH).Police said the 13-year-old victim was admitted to the hospital on Saturday after she was allegedly raped by a teenager in the Parsudih area of the city on January 26.At the hospital, the security guard allegedly accompanied her to the bathroom and raped her, police added. The incident took place at around 7 pm.

When the victim's mother returned, she found her daughter uncontrollably shaking, before she heard about the ordeal her daughter had just gone through.

The horrific events happened on the same day that Raghubar Das, the chief minister of Jharkhand,​ had visited the facilities and announced that there would be changes.

Let's hope these events shock the officials in India into pushing for a major transformation of the current system, and that it helps address the attitude that many hold towards women. Because no-one should have to go through this even once.
