Ujjain, September 28, 2023 (PPI-OT): In a shocking incident, a 12-year-old girl was raped and left half-naked on streets in Madhya Pradesh state of India with what is more tragic part of the ordeal of the victim girl being that no one comes to help her.

According to Kashmir Media Service, the minor girl, half-naked and bleeding, was seen walking on the streets in Ujjain city of the state. She was raped and dumped near the city’s Dandi Ashram.

In visuals captured on CCTV cameras, the girl in a rag barely covers her s seen walking in a residential area. She approaches a man standing outside his home for help, but is shooed away.

The girl was later admitted to a hospital in a critical condition and further referred to Indore for treatment. “The medical examination of the minor confirmed rape,” senior police official Sachin Sharma said.

The girl was not able to tell us exactly where she was from. But her accent suggests she is from Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh, he added. The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) issued a notice to Ujjain Police over the minor’s rape.

The panel sought details of the initial report filed by police and asked them to comply with the guidelines mentioned in the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

NCPCR chairperson Priyank Kanoongo said that the most unfortunate part of the incident was that for so many hours nobody stepped up to help the minor. This reveals a dark side of society, the NCPCR chairperson said.
