JAIPUR: A 16-year-old Dalit girl who attempted suicide by setting herself on fire after she was allegedly raped at Jasti Ka Bagh village in Sikar district succumbed to her injuries on Tuesday.
She had sustained 60% burns and was being treated at SMS hospital since April 3. The family staged a dharna outside Vidhan Sabha and are demanding ex gratia of Rs 20 lakh. After sustaining more than 60 % burns, Suman, a Class VIII student, was admitted to the burns ward of SMS hospital on April 3. Meanwhile, as the doctors tried hard to bring her back, her parents had a hard time lodging an FIR against the accused.
On Tuesday morning, the doctors informed Girdhari Lal that his daughter was no more. Later, the infuriated family members alleged that the police were harassing them and were not allowing them to take back the body as they had staged a dharna in front of the Vidhan Sabha.
"When she was raped nobody at Neem Ka Thana police station registered a complaint. The case was registered after three days. Though the accused, Rajaram Jaat, 23, has been arrested, our family is getting anonymous calls to withdraw the case and negotiate," alleged Jeetendra, uncle of the victim.
He said senior police officers are trying to save the rape accused.
