Rayagada gang-rape victim on ventilator



RAYAGADA: Condition of the 16-year-old Rayagada gang-rape victim worsened and was put on ventilator of the Care Hospital in Vishakhapatnam from Sunday when she faced breathing difficulty, informed the doctors.   

“Condition of the girl is serious. The doctors are trying to contain the infection from further spreading,” said Rayagada district Collector S S Padhi.

“Due to 70 per cent burn injury, the condition is critical. It is very premature to predict anything at present,” said Rayagada Chief District Medical Officer KVS Choudhury.

Demanding justice for the victim, more than hundred people on Monday complained before the District Collector and the Superintendent of Police. Rayagada SP Rajesh Pandit said they would submit the charge sheet very soon in the case.     

Notably, the minor of Anjipetta area in the district had attempted suicide by setting herself ablaze the next day after she was allegedly gang-raped by four persons on the outskirts of Rayagada town on January 2.
