In a disturbing incident from Ranchi, Jharkhand, a blind minor girl was allegedly raped by her father and two brothers for three years. The girl’s mother is also implicated, having reportedly supported the abuse and arranged for an abortion when the victim became pregnant. The case highlights the vulnerability of a disabled child and the betrayal of parental trust.
The abuse occurred for three years, with the victim unable to defend herself due to her disability. Eventually, the girl was able to share her story with neighbors, who then contacted the police. The police investigation is underway.
The police have arrested the girl’s parents and one brother. The other brother is being sought. The victim described the repeated assaults by her father and brothers over three years. When she informed her mother, she sided with the perpetrators. In a further act of cruelty, the mother arranged for an abortion when the girl became pregnant. The girl said she was unable to tell anyone due to the lack of opportunity and when the chance arose, she told her neighbors about what had been happening.
A medical examination of the victim has been conducted, and the police are interrogating the accused. The search for the other brother continues. This appalling incident has shaken not just Ranchi but the entire society.
