PATNA – A differently-abled teenage girl was allegedly raped in Bihar’s Samastipur district, a police officer said on Monday.
The victim was alone in her house when a youth from the same locality brutally raped her. She was found in an unconscious state.
“When I returned home, I found my daughter, who is deaf and dumb, lying in a pool of blood. We then admitted her to a nearby private hospital for treatment. She narrated her ordeal after gaining consciousness,” said the victim’s mother.
“After preliminary medical examination, the doctors informed us about the sexual assault. Accordingly, I went to the women’s police station in Samastipur and submitted a written complaint against the accused,” she said.
