Andhra:
Police have arrested 3 guards under the Pokcho Act for gang-raping a mentally ill woman who was undergoing treatment at an Andhra Pradesh government hospital. Police were also suspended for negligence over a complaint lodged by a parent.
Government Hospital
The government hospital is located near the Vijayawada bus stand in the Andhra Pradesh capital. The hospital, which is located in the state capital, has all the facilities and treats a large number of patients from all over the state. As a result, the Vijayawada Government Hospital is bustling 24 hours a day.
The victim was a 22-year-old girl from an area near Vijayawada. He was suffering from a mental illness and was already receiving treatment at the Vijayawada Government Hospital. The young woman who was at home last week suddenly fainted.
When her parents contacted the teenager on her cell phone, she said she was being treated in the outpatient department at the Vijayawada Government Hospital and would be coming home soon.
Adolescent joint sexual abuse
The girl has been discharged from the hospital after completing treatment for the condition. Then 3 guards working in the hospital near the lift spoke nicely to him and took him to the room near the lift. There were 3 people who drank alcohol and gang-raped a young woman for 30 hours.
Her parents contacted the teenager’s cell phone as the daughter went to the hospital but did not return. But the teen did not pick up the cellphone. The suspect’s parents searched the entire hospital for him. But could not find the young woman.
Police negligence
The girl’s parents lodged a complaint with the Vijayawada police. Your daughter is mentally ill and may have gone elsewhere. The police negligently told you to find out for yourself.
The girl’s parents then asked her to put down her cell phone number and find out where he was. The police responded indifferently.
In this case, the teenager, who was gang-raped by the police, was lying unconscious with her clothes torn near the lift. Passers-by informed the hospital management. The girl was rescued and treated at a hospital.
Condemnation of political party leaders
The case of teenage gang rape went viral on social media. On learning about this, former First Minister and Telugu Desam leader Chandrababu Naidu came to the Vijayawada hospital and inquired about the health of the girl. He paid Rs 5 lakh for the treatment of the girl.
Various political party leaders also condemned the incident in which a teenager was gang-raped.
Government job and house for one person in the family
In this situation, Andhra Pradesh Women’s Welfare Commissioner Vasu Reddy Padma came to the hospital to investigate the girl. Then the Telugu Desam Party volunteers shouted Go Back Go Back. This caused a stir in the hospital premises.
Following this, Health Minister Rajini and Home Minister Vanitha came to the hospital and inquired about the girl.
