Three months after a four-year-old girl was raped and brutalized on July 1 night, a court in MP’s Satna district handed her rapist — a guest teacher at a village school — the death sentence on Wednesday. The conviction is unique in that the survivor’s statement was taken via videoconferencing which proved vital in the trial.
The child was still at AIIMS-Delhi, recovering from the horrific injuries caused by the rape. Part of her intestine had to be removed and she was now dependent on a tube fitted to her stomach for excretion, sources said.
The state government flew the survivor to AIIMS on July 3 and chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan spoke with the doctors treating her the very next day. After the judgment, Chouhan tweeted: “I express my gratitude towards those people who have contributed to ensuring justice to the innocent and protection of society.”
This is the ninth death sentence for child rape in MP after the new, tougher law came into force in the state in April this year. While sentencing the 25-year-old convict to death, additional district judge Nagaud said: “In Indian social system, daughters are considered heritage of the nation. Incidents like this cannot be allowed in any civilized society.”
“He brutalized the child in such barbaric manner that there was no scope for mercy. We had produced all the medical reports before the court. I am confident that the higher courts will uphold the judgment,” said DSP Kiran Kiro, who investigated the case.
