Teenage Dalit girl gang-raped

Special Correspondent

AHMEDABAD: A Dalit girl (17) was allegedly gang-raped by four persons
in Limdi in Surendranagar district in the Saurashtra region of
Gujarat.

The police said on Monday that the girl, a 12th standard student in
Limdi, suffered the trauma on January 11, but did not disclose it to
anybody till Sunday, when she broke down and narrated the incident to
her relatives and some local social workers.

Acting quickly, the police arrested three of the alleged rapists and a
woman who was instrumental in taking the girl to a desolate spot where
the four men, already dead drunk, were waiting. The girl too was
forced to consume alcohol and was raped by the four. One of the
accused, the only non-Dalit among them, was absconding.

The police said the girl was checked by the Gandhi hospital in Limdi
and was later referred to the Ahmedabad civil hospital for psychiatric
treatment as she reportedly had lost her mental balance due to the
trauma.
