Six days after the alleged rape of a differently abled minor girl in Rajasthan’s Alwar town, the police were still clueless about the absconding culprits, while the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party workers on Monday staged demonstrations at sub-divisions in all districts of the State to protest against the incident.

The 15-year-old mentally challenged girl, who is unable to speak properly, was found in a distressed condition on a bridge in Alwar with injuries on her private parts on Tuesday last week. She was shifted from a hospital in Alwar to Sir Padampat Mother and Child Hospital in Jaipur, where she underwent a two-and-a-half-hour long surgery.

The Congress government in the State, which has since decided to recommend a CBI probe into the case, was caught on the wrong foot following conflicting claims of the police on the incident, based on the medical opinion. Alwar Superintendent of Police Tejaswini Gautam said on Friday that though the investigation was going on, the medical reports did not suggest that the girl was raped.
