In Ujjain Rape Case, Those Who Didn't Help Teen May Face Charges: Police
NDTV
NDTV earlier reported on CCTV footage of a man shooing the bleeding girl away; the heart-breaking clip showed him leaning nonchalantly against his front door and refusing to help.
Those who did not help a 15-year-old girl in Ujjain - who had been raped and left half-naked and bleeding, and went door-to-door begging for help - may be charged under anti-child sex abuse laws, a senior Madhya Pradesh police officer told NDTV on Friday. They may face action under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act for 'failing to report or register the commission' of a crime.
Jayant Singh Rathore, an Additional Superintendent of Police in Ujjain, said that at least one such individual had been identified - an auto rickshaw driver who "knowingly did not inform the police".
"Action has been taken against him. CCTV footage will be studied. If more people are found, and it is clear they did not help (the girl) or did not inform the police, we will take legal action," he said.
