Medical test fails to prove rape of 9-year-old in Assam, police suspect victim under threat
The medical test of the 9-year-old girl, who claimed to have been raped
by two unidentified persons on April 21, has failed to confirm any
sexual assault.
"There is no injury in her private parts and the medical report shows that no sexual assault happened with the girl," Cachar SP Diganta Bora told India Today. The police also claimed that the injury in her throat was "of superficial nature" and she was completely out of danger.
The girl, hailing from Badarpur, had come to visit her maternal uncle's home in Kalain near Silchar on May 21. At around 4 in the evening, she went out to the weekly market but did not return for over two hours.
Later at 7.30 pm, some people spotted her coming out of Gate No 9 of a nearby tea garden. She was bleeding from her throat and was immediately taken to Silchar Medical College Hospital.
Initially the girl alleged attack by some unidentified persons but did not report rape. On further questioning, she told the police that two men in black mask came in an auto-rickshaw, waylaid her, took her to the tea garden and raped her.
But the medical test done at Silchar Medical College Hospital today found no evidence of sexual assault. The police are now investigating various angles on how the girl received injuries on her throat.
"We suspect she is witness to something and is under threat from someone. We are questioning family members and neighbours," said Bora.
