"Not Like Nobody Helped, People Gave Her Rs 50-100": Cop On Rape Horror
NDTV
When NDTV pressed that the girl was half-naked and bleeding, and that she needed medical attention more than cash, SP Sachin Sharma replied, "People may have had reservations."
A minor girl was brutally raped in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain. Half-naked and bleeding from her wounds, she went door-to-door in a residential neighbourhood, seeking help. No one came forward. CCTV footage showed a man shooing her away as she approached. She found help at an ashram, where a priest gave her clothes and called police. Twenty minutes later, the cops came, and she was rushed to a hospital.
If the visuals of the injured teen seeking help in vain shocked you, wait till you hear Ujjain police chief Sachin Sharma's view on how local residents helped the 15-year-old "financially".
When NDTV asked Mr Sharma about the heartbreaking apathy showed by local residents towards the half-naked and bleeding girl looking for help, he replied, "There were mixed responses. People in the localities she passed through had helped her. Some gave her Rs 50, others gave Rs 100. She crossed a toll booth on the way. The staff there gave her money and some clothes. At least 7-8 people tried to help."
