LUCKNOW: A minor Dalit girl in Uttar Pradesh's Kannauj district was

June 14. The 14-year-old girl had stepped out of her house around 6
a.m. when she was accosted by two village youths.

When she resisted their attempt to rape her, the girl was repeatedly
stabbed in her eyes. Found lying in the field, the victim was rushed
to the district hospital and then referred to Hallet Hospital in
Kanpur. Reports quoting the doctors attending on the girl said the
cornea of her left eye was completely damaged and there was no chance
of repair.

An official spokesman said here on Sunday that a case was filed
