New Delhi: The December 16, 2012 brutal gangrape of a 23-year-old paramedical student who later died due the horrific assault led to a massive public outrage and forced the government bring a anti-rape law. Despite the public outrage and demand for strict punishment for the culprits following the Delhi gangrape, the rape victims continue to be face a lot of hardships.
In one such incident, an eight-year-old rape victim and her family living in South East Delhi has been ostracized . The victim's family has been asked to leave the area by their neighbours who have stopped interacting or speaking to them.
The victim's father has been dismissed from his job and the name of her younger brother, who was studying in the class one in a private school, has been stuck off the rolls. Her elder sister's marriage has also been called off.
Following sustained social pressure and faced with his family facing a bleak future, her father has decided to withdraw the rape complaint filed in the police station. The victim mother said that while her daughter has been brutalised, it is she and her family members who are being treated like criminals.
The seven-member family lives in a very small room which just a bed can be accommodated. The eight-year-old girl was gangraped by a group of men when she was going to buy sugar.
The accused abducted the minor girl at knife point and after committing the horrific crime bundled her into an auto and threw her in front of her house.
