A 14-year-old Indian teenager was allegedly captured and repeatedly raped for over two weeks by a gang of men. She was then shot twice before being dumped near a well on the outskirts of Delhi.
The victim was reportedly abducted on November 22, 2015, while she was walking to a market in West Delhi. Upon her rescue, she spoke to NDTV, and narrated her ordeal.
She mentioned that she was kept in a ‘dark room’ where three men took turns to repeatedly rape her for a period of two-weeks. She added that after the abuse, they decided to let her go and put her in a car.
But when she took a few steps back, they shot at her twice, after which she fainted and fell into a well nearby. She mentioned that she gained consciousness and shook the bullet out of her chest and was then rescued by nearby villagers on December 6, 2015, who heard her screams.
She was later taken to the hospital says the media report.
This shocking incident is another edition to the sexual brutality meted to Indian girls. Remember, Jyoti Singh Pandey was also brutally raped on December 16, 2012, and died on December 29, succumbing to her injuries.
