JAIPUR: Even as the nation was rocked by the news of baby Falak being abused and abandoned, a three-year-old girl was admitted to JK Lon hospital here on Saturday after the infant was allegedly raped in Bhilwara five days ago.

Doctors treating the girl said she has serious injury marks on some parts of her body.

The women's wing of the BJP met the girl and her mother in the hospital and said a case will be filed with the women's commission in connection with the rape. BJP vice-president (state) Suman Sharma said, "The chief minister has launched the Janani Shishu Surakha Yojna but women and children are not safe. In this case a small girl was raped."

Sharma said the mother of the victim had called them for help in getting proper medical attention. She said that an unidentified person had raped her child. "We will report the case to the women commission," Sharma added.

Besides, the JK Lon hospital administration has constituted a three-member medical board comprising pediatricians, to take care of the girl. One of the three doctors, Dr Arun Gupta, said, "The girl is not allowing us to touch her for examination. We will try again tomorrow (Sunday) to find out the extent of the injury she has suffered."

He said that the healing may take some time hence they would keep the girl in the hospital for at least five to six days.

A hospital official said she has been brought to Jaipur and admitted to the hospital so that she could get medical treatment from experts here.

Falak has been battling for survival at AIIMS for over 50 days after she was abandoned with a fractured skull, bruises and human bite marks all over her body.
