NEW DELHI: A 12-year-old girl from Delhi’s Paschim Vihar area is now battling for her life at a hospital after she was allegedly raped in her home and left bloodied with deep wounds on head and back. The brutal incident took place on Tuesday when the minor girl was alone, police said, adding that the home is located in a congested, dingy locality whose inhabitants are mostly daily wage workers.
As her daily wage-earning parents were out, neighbours first got a whiff of the crime and alerted police. When a police team reached the home, they found the girl had sustained brutal injuries. “She was found soaked in blood. Her body bore deep wounds and she was bleeding from private parts. Preliminary investigation suggests that the minor was brutally attacked with a sharp weapon on her head and back,” said a police officer.
