Rajasthan Shocker! 7-year-old raped, left bleeding from privates, by landlord’s 24-year-old son in Bundi; accused on the run

Police said the incident took place in Bypass Road area of Bundi city in Rajasthan on Wednesday but came to light on Thursday night when the girl complained of discomfort while urinating and her parents found blood stains around her genitals.

Rajasthan Rape: Amidst the backdrop of the massive outrage and protests over the brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata, a 7-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her landlord’s 24-year-old son in Bundi city of Rajasthan. According to the police, the accused, who is on the run since committing the crime, left the minor victim bleeding from her private parts.

A senior official said the incident took place in Bypass Road area on Wednesday but came to light on Thursday night when the girl complained of discomfort while urinating and her parents found blood stains around her genitals.

“The victim’s parents noticed that their daughter was in distress while urinating and had blood stains around her private parts, following which they approached Bundi district Child Welfare Committee on Friday morning,” Bundi Superintendent of Police (SP) (City) Hanuman Prasad Meena told news agency PTI.

The officer said Bundi district Child Welfare Committee Chairperson, Seema Poddhar informed police about the incident who promptly registered a case and launched an investigation in the matter.

A case of rape was registered under relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against the accused, adding that several teams have been formed to nab the culprit who is absconding from the house.

Further investigation in the case is underway, he said.

The case bears eerie resemblance to a similar incident which took place in Delhi last month where an 11-year-old girl was allegedly raped by the 22-year-old son of a house owner where the girl’s family lived as tenants. Akin to the Bundi case, the accused left the minor victim bleeding from her privates, and threatened to kill her if she narrated the harrowing ordeal to anyone.

The incidents come amidst the ongoing nationwide outrage and protests over the brutal rape and killing of a 32-year-old trainee doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata last week.
