Teenage rape victim raped again during treatment in hospital


– A 15-year-old rape survivor was attacked again at a hospital where she was undergoing treatment

– She was allegedly sexually abused by a security guard five days after the first attack

– Police have launched an investigation, two people were arrested


A few days after a 15-year-old girl was raped by a teenage boy near her home in Parsudih area of Jamshedpur and rushed to hospital, she was raped once again — this time by a person meant to protect her — a hospital security guard.

According to local media reports, 50-year-old Shambhu Mahato accompanied the girl to the hospital’s toilet, where he sexually abused her.

Recalling the day her daughter was raped the victim’s mother said: “ I went out to get food for my daughter, when I returned with the puffed rice, I saw her was shaking and crying in her bed. She told me the guard had raped her in the toilet…

I ran down immediately to look for him. I learnt from the other guards that Mahato had left. I told them what had happened, and they asked me to keep quiet. They said action would be taken.”

The teenager has now been shifted from the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial (MGM) Hospital to Tata Main Hospital. The police have started investigation, arresting both the boy and private security guard.
