While sharing her experience in a Facebook post, a Delhi-based gynaecologist narrated how she came across a query during online consultation which revealed that a man sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl who had not even hit her puberty yet, and was concerned about the victim getting pregnant.

Dr Sweta Singh, while on her Diwali days, decided to take online consultation queries on Practo, an online platform based out of Bengaluru, which allows people to connect with a variety of doctors and medical specialists. While sipping her coffee to relax herself Diwali morning, what she read on Practo left her wide-eyed.

“I ejaculated on the vagina on a virgin who has not yet hit puberty. Is there any possibility of pregnancy? If yes, what is the way to avoid? (Sic)” a query read.

Terrified to read that, Sweta asked for further details and was left speechless when the man revealed that he was 34-year-old while girl was 10-year-old.

Sweta cancelled the consultation immediately but was left with sleepless nights. She realised that this was a case of child sexual assault.

Collecting herself from the shock, Sweta decided to get further with the case and report the wrong being done to the child.

Taking to the social networking site Facebook, Sweta recited her ordeal in post which has gone viral since shared on November 8.

Next, Sweta reached out to Practo as well and said that the organisation cooperated in giving the man’s details like name, phone number and IP address as they appeared on his Practo profile. The man appeared to be based out of Pune, Maharashtra.

She also tweeted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Puducherry governor Kiran Bedi for help. “I gave a small statement of what I needed help with. They were the only ones I thought could and WOULD help. I spent my Diwali waiting for them,” Dr Sweta said on Facebook. “My heart breaking into a million little pieces as I watched them posting tweets about Diwali etc. on Twitter but not bothering to help a real little form of Lakshmiji,” she added.

The National Commission for Child Rights (NCPCR), whom she had also emailed, also got in touch with her and asked for the details of the man who sent the self-incriminating query.

Meanwhile, Practo also responded, filing a complaint about the issue with the NCPCR on November 8 as well as with the Bengaluru Commissioner’s office on November 9. They filed a complaint with the Puttenahalli police station a day later on November 10.

With all this action, it would appear that things would move quickly to apprehend the Pune-based accused. But to everybody’s disappointment, that has not been the case. It has been days with no news if the man has been arrested.
