India On The Of Making Record In Rape Case, 11 Year Old Raped In Surat For 7 Days With Over 100 Injuries

In a shocking case, an 11-year-old girl was reportedly murdered on April 6 after sexual assault for almost a week in Surat. The post-mortem report said her body bore over 80 injury marks. Most injuries were caused by a wooden weapon, said the report. Police said that so far no one came forward to claim her body and as a result of it the girl’s identity couldn’t be established. The police are yet to identify and arrest the culprits.

According to investigative officer, the murder took place at some different location but the body was dumped in Pandesara area of Surat.

ANI quoted Police inspector BK Jhala as saying that they believe the girl was murdered at a different place from where her body was recovered. “The victim’s picture has been sent to the state police control room for identification process,” he added.

The case comes days after chilling details of the gruesome rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl sent jitters across the nation. The minor girl from the Bakerwal community was kidnapped on January 10; taken to a temple in Rasana village in Kathua district. Her attackers, which included temple official and policemen, drugged and gang raped her over days before finally killing her and dumping her body in a forest nearby, seven days later. The girl was attacked to scare away the nomadic Muslim community out of the village.

Similarly, a 17-year-old girl in Uttar Pradesh’s Unnao district alleged that she was gangraped by BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar and his accomplices last year. The alleged rape case came into the limelight after the victim tried to immolate herself outside Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s residence last week after alleging police inaction against the BJP MLA.

And on Friday, a 19-year-old boy was arrested in Jamshedpur on the charge of killing her five-year-old cousin following an abortive attempt to rape her earlier this month. He allegedly slit the throat of the girl with a knife after she resisted his move to rape her on April 4 in an abandoned building and dumped the body in a dustbin, Senior Superintendent of Police Anoop Birtheray told a press conference.
