17-year-old girl raped in Salumber village, locals shut market in protest

Udaipur: A 17-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a man who enticed her and forcibly took her to a nearby forest when she had ventured out of her residence to attend to some errands in Gingla police station area of Salumber district on Monday evening.
The rape survivor was taken to MB Hospital in Udaipur on the intervening night of Monday-Tuesday, where she is currently undergoing medical treatment. The minor's condition is stable, said police.
The incident sparked outrage among villagers, who took to the streets in protest, shutting down the market area on Tuesday. Enraged locals demanded stringent punishment for the perpetrator. Considering the escalating tension, Salumber SP Arshad Ali deployed a substantial police presence in the area to maintain law and order.
The health of the girl deteriorated due to excessive bleeding as the family had taken the injured girl first to a quack doctor on foot without alerting the authorities, said police. Due to the Rakshabandhan festival, the local doctor was unavailable. As they walked, the minor's condition deteriorated rapidly and she began haemorrhaging profusely.
The excessive blood loss left her in a precarious state, prompting the family to finally inform the police. The authorities reached the spot and admitted the critically injured girl to Udaipur’s MB Hospital. The minor underwent emergency surgery at 2am on Tuesday. The girl's statement was taken when her condition improved. Based on the statement, the police were trying to nab the rapist.
