BHOPAL: The state women's commission (SWC) team on Friday conducted an on-spot inspection of the recent cases of atrocity against minor girls in Datia and Gwalior districts.
SWC chairperson Upma Rai talking to TOI said, "These incidences are heinous. The SWC condemns them."
The team comprising Rai and member Shashi Sinhoo visited Bhander village in Datia district and later Bhadoi village in Gwalior district on Friday in connection with two separate incidents of rape and immolation.
At Bhander, 40 km from Datia district headquarters, a 14-year-old girl was raped by seven men on October 1. The matter came to light after the accused started circulating the MMS of the incident following which the girl along with her mother reached the police station on October 6 to lodge a complaint.
Rai said, "The accused have been arrested."
"Besides, the property of the accused should be declared attached as per sections 82-83 of the Cr Pc within three days. Also the medical examination was done by a single doctor while the commission has recommended for a board of doctors to be constituted for it," she said.
Rai also said the rehabilitation of the victim should be of prime importance and the administration should bear the cost of her studies. "A fast track court should also try the case as per our previous recommendations," she said.Link: Bhopal women's panel condemns atrocities on minor girls
