Minor rape victim ends life
Sonepat, April 2
A minor rape victim committed suicide by hanging herself from a fan in her house in Vikas Nagar here today. She had left behind a suicide note addressed to the trial judge.
“Judge sahib, main galti kar rahi hun. Par samaaj mujhe jeene nahi dega. Isliyea main suicide kar rahee hun (My Lord, I am committing a mistake. Society will not allow me to live. Therefore, I am committing suicide),” she said in the suicide note. She pleaded with the judge to punish the accused so that no other rape victim committed suicide.
After the post-mortem examination, the body was handed over to the family.
The victim — a Class 10 student — was allegedly gang raped by Sunil and his friends on September 3, 2014. Though the police had arrested all accused, she remained mentally upset and stopped going to school. Taking note of the incident, Haryana Social Welfare Minister Kavita Jain asked the police to investigate the case. — OC
