After Asifa, another girl-child in Surat held captive, raped, and brutally killed!

Amidst nationwide outrage over the gang rape and murder of an eight-year-old in Kathua, another appalling rape incident of an 11-year-old in Surat has surfaced. The girl was raped, tortured for almost 10 days then strangled to death. According to the autopsy report there were at least 86 injury marks on her body including severe injuries to the girl’s private parts caused by a blunt wooden like object. It seems she was confined, raped and brutally tortured before being killed, cops said. The Surat police on Sunday formed several teams to trace the identity of a girl whose body was dumped after she was raped, tortured and killed, and to track down the perpetrators of the crime, following widespread protests by people against “police inaction”. The girl’s body was found under the bushes near a cricket stadium in Pandesara area of Surat on April 6 morning, “We will widen our probe to trace the perpetrators of the crime. All residential colonies and societies near the crime spot would be checked again to get clues. We will scan CCTV footages of nearby places,” Surat Police Commissioner Satish Sharma said. The Fearless Indian's View: Just imagining the little girl’s ordeal sends shivers down ones spine. The pain she must have endured is beyond compare. Only a stringent law where the rapists get capital punishment can curb such horrific incidents. Fear needs to be instilled in the rapists so that they don't dare to commit such crimes, if not, 'The Country will Surely go to the Dogs.'
