A team of policemen in Bihar has dug up the grounds at a state funded shelter home, where over 40 young girls were allegedly raped, to investigate the allegation that one girl was beaten to death and buried there. Out of the 21 reports of medical examination that have been submitted, rape of 16 girls have been confirmed by doctors, while reports are still not out on the rest of the girls who lived in the horror house in Muzaffarpur.
The girl was killed after a disagreement with the staff, one of the girls has told the police.
An officer in the district administration has been arrested over the sexual assault of the girls at the state-run shelter, which has now been shut.
Amid the unfortunate incident came RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s remark accusing Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his government of protecting the culprits.
सोचिए? अगर आपके परिवार और गाँव की 7 से लेकर 17 वर्षीय बहन-बेटियों के साथ सत्ता समर्थित व प्रायोजित हैवान महीनों तक दरिंदगी से दुष्कर्म करते रहें तो कैसा लगेगा? बिहार में बलात्कारों की बाढ़ सी आयी हुई है और सरकार साहेब है कि मुँह खोलने के लिए तैयार ही नहीं है। कुर्सी प्यारी है ना! pic.twitter.com/242b8sQjaj

Tejashwi, the former deputy chief minister of Bihar highlighted the mishap and attacked Nitish Kumar through his Twitter post, saying “Think? How would you feel if your family and the village’s seven to 17-year-old sisters or daughters, supported and sponsored devils, were raped her for months? There is a flood of rape in Bihar and the government is silent. They just care about their power!”
As per the police officials, 10 people have been arrested in the matter. Police is looking deeply into the matter to find if more are connected with the heinous crime.
