My daughter was bleeding, but doctor didn't believe us: UP rape survivor

Bulandshahr: Days after a teenage girl and her mother were dragged out of their car and gangraped in UP's Bulandshahr, it has emerged that the doctors at a hospital where they were taken for treatment had refused to believe the victims.

Recalling the nightmare, the victim's mother said that her daughter was profusely bleeding when they were taken to a nearby government hospital.

"I had bruises all over...my daughter was bleeding...but the doctor didn't believe us. She said we were lying about her condition," the victim’s mother was quoted in an NDTV report.

The victim's mother said that the female doctor refused to believe that they were raped. She added that her daughter was shaking and desperate when the doctor told her to sit quietly in a corner.

In the aftermath of the incident, the family of the 13-year-old girl and her mother has threatened to commit suicide if the accused were not punished within three months.

"We were looted, beaten up and we all know what they did to my daughter...I want my wife and daughter to punish them. If they are not punished within three months, then all three of us will commit suicide," said the minor victim's father, a cab driver whose family was attacked by a group of bandits on Friday night.

The dacoits had brutally raped the woman and her daughter at gunpoint after dragging them out of a car in Bulandshahr on NH-91 when they were travelling with their family from Noida to Shahjahanpur.

"There were seven-eight men. They tied our hands and feet and beat us. They kept beating us even when we begged for water or we made any movement," the 39-year-old man said, alleging that they did not get any help on dialing police control room number 100.

Uttar Pradesh Police had on Sunday arrested – Naresh (25), Bablu (22) and Rais (28) -- and detained a dozen others after launching a massive hunt for the dacoits suspected to be behind the crime.

The DGP, who had visited the spot of crime, said the Special Task Force of UP Police was on the job.

Shahjahanpur district administration has extended security to the family members of Bulandshahr gangrape victims as demanded by them.

District magistrate Pushpa Singh, who met the family members of the victims on Tuesday in Kalan area, said directives have been issued to the police to provide security to the family.

"As demanded by the family, they have been assured of arms licence at the earliest," she said.

Besides Lohiya Awas and old-age pension, the grandfather of the victim will also get monetary help through the Rani Laxmibai Samman, Singh said, adding the locality of  their native house will also be electrified.

She said all necessary help will be provided to the family by the administration.
