Father doesn’t own even a bicycle.
By Raif Karerat
One destitute villager in Jharkhand carries his 9-year-old daughter 4 kilometers to the nearest health center almost every day for treatment after the girl was lured with chocolates by a stranger, raped, and abandoned.
She managed to crawl, wounded and bleeding, about a kilometer to home and was admitted to a local hospital where her condition worsened and she had to be rushed to nearby Jamshedpur for better treatment, but doctors there couldn’t stop the bleeding and referred her to a Ranchi hospital, according to the Hindustan Times.
She had to undergo a colectomy in Ranchi to remove her damaged intestine and now uses a colostomy bag. After the successful surgery, doctors managed to check the bleeding and discharged her, but her wounds have to be dressed regularly at home.
“I am unable to go for work as this is a priority. We have exhausted whatever in the name of savings we had. Rather we are deep in debt now,” said the poor laborer, who doesn’t even own a bicycle. “God knows how many more days we will have to suffer like this. I wish a doctor could come to my home and dress the wounds of my daughter but that’s a dream for us.”
The young girl identified the man accused of raping her after police nabbed him a few days later while trying to rape another minor.
