Motihari: The National
Commission for Women will today submit to the Prime Minister’s Office its
report on the alleged gangrape of a 21-year-old in Motihari in Bihar’s East
Champaran district.
The women’s body has also
sought an appointment with Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh in this regard.The
Commission had instituted an inquiry into the gangrape and one of its members
had visited the town as part of a fact-finding mission.
“In the report we have
mentioned that doctors in Bihar still continue to use the two finger test,
which has already been banned. We have also sought details from the doctor who
carries out medical tests on rape survivors because we suspect that several
rape cases are simply brushed aside. We will also summon the civil surgeon on July 1. We also have several
issues specifically about the local police and we will be sharing those with
the Home Minister,” Sushma Sahu, the National Commission Women member who
travelled to Motihari said.
It may be noted that already
there have been two medical examination conducted over the rape survivor in
last one week and both pointed towards the fact that there girl was not
subjected to rape. However, deputy medical superintendent of Motihari Hospital,
Dr Manoj Kumar contradicted the first medical board report of which he was also
a part and claimed that the girl was indeed raped.
The incident took place
nearly a week ago. Five men who had stormed into the woman’s hut, dragged her
out and gangraped her in front of her parents and neighbours. The accused had
allegedly inserted a pistol and a wooden stick in her private parts.
