Kamal Nath visits hospital to enquire about 12-yr-old rape victim's condition; claims many such incidents happening in MP but not coming to light. He targets BJP govt, alleging corruption & atrocities against women and tribals.

Madhya Pradesh Congress president Kamal Nath on September 30 said the rape of a 12-year-old girl in Ujjain has brought disgrace to the State.

He also targeted the Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Government in the State, claiming that such crimes have been taking place in the State every day, but they are not coming to light.

The minor girl was found walking on a street of Ujjain in injured condition on September 25. Her medical examination established that she had been raped, police said.

Mr. Kamal Nath on September 30 visited the government-run Maharaja Tukojirao Holkar Women’s Hospital in Indore, where the minor rape victim underwent a major surgery on September 27, and enquired about her condition.

“Doctors told me that the girl’s condition is stable post-surgery. Her condition is improving. However, she is still disturbed mentally. Therefore, a psychiatrist has been appointed for her,” Mr. Kamal Nath told reporters.

The heinous crime against the 12-year-old girl has brought disgrace to the State, he said.

“Many such incidents are happening across the State on a daily basis, but they do not come to light,” the former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister claimed.
