10 Year Old Indian Girl Dies Days fater Gang Rape By 4 Men
A 10-year-old Indian girl has died days
after she was gang raped by four men in Mumbai, police said today. The girl is
said to have been lured to a secluded area in Hanuman Nagar after her alleged
attackers promised to give her Rs10 if she did a chore for them. Officials in
Turbhe said the young girl knew all four of her alleged attackers, and that one
had raped her on a previous occasion. The girl’s alleged attackers are said to
have lured the 10-year-old to a remote area of Hanuman Nagar where she was
‘raped repeatedly’ The victim is believed to have been rushed to a hospital in
Vashi after she developed a high fever four days after the attack on June 16 in
Hanuman Nagar. When her condition worsened, she was transferred to the
paediatric intensive care unit at the DY Patil Hospital in Nerul, where she
died yesterday, the Mumbai Mirror reported. According to the report, local
police said the girl had described her ordeal to one of her friends, who then
informed her parents. An officer based at the Turbhe police station told
ndtv.com: “All the accused knew each other as well as the victim. They raped
her repeatedly. She was rushed to the hospital after her parents got to know of
her plight but she lost her life on Tuesday,” he said. All four accused have
been arrested, the report said. A string of brutal sex attacks in India
have made headlines in recent months, including the fatal gang rape of a
23-year-old student on a bus last December. The woman died of her injuries in a
Singapore hospital two weeks after the assault, which enraged the Indian
population. Thousands of protesters took to the streets in the days after the
attack to voice their anger at the prevalence of crimes against women in India
