Gurgaon : People protested here on Thursday on the busy Mehrauli-Gurgaon road, demanding justice for a five-year-old girl who was raped after being lured with the promise of a plate of chowmein.
The girl, who is under treatment at Delhi’s Safdarjung hospital, was kidnapped from a function in Chakarpur and raped on March 29.
People also blocked traffic near Bristol Chowk, and said the girl’s condition deteriorated as proper care was not being given at the hospital.
Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner T.L. Satyaprakash, who visited the spot, assured the angry people that the girl would be shifted to Medanta the Medicity hospital in the city.
The protesters demanded the suspension of Gurgaon’s chief medical officer, who referred the girl to Delhi.
They also demanded the removal of inquiry officer Assistant Commissioner of Police Dharna Yadav, who allegedly misled the girl’s family saying that the arrested accused was a mentally disturbed person.
Police arrested a 32-year-old man — identified as Sharma Yadav hailing from Bihar’s Madhubani district — from a park here.
The girl’s family too belongs to Bihar.
