The father of the 14 year old girl who was raped in Nagaon, Assam spoke out about the state of the victim and the need to properly punish those accused
The father of the 14-year old girl who was gang-raped in Nagaon, Assam on August 22, said that his daughter could barely talk when he met her after the incident.
The minor is currently admitted at the Nagaon Medical College and Hospital, where she was taken after locals found her in a semi-conscious state on Thursday evening near the main road leading to her village. The area had no lights and was surrounded by only paddy fields.
The girl lived with her grandparents and her aunt as her father worked in Guwahati and her mother had passed away. Her grandmother said she had been worried on Friday when the girl did not return from tuition classes in another village, around 6 kilometers away.
Her cousin stated that she was the only girl in the village who travelled to another school to study as it was an English medium institution. The teen did not have a mobile phone and when she didn’t return home at 6 pm, her grandmother found out from a friend that she had left from her tuitions long back.
Her father returned from Guwahati that night and said, “When I met her, she couldn’t even talk… Everyone in our village is in fear,” he told The Indian Express.
