19-year nursing student raped by autorickshaw driver in India
An autorickshaw driver drugged and raped a 19-year-old nursing student in Ratnagiri district, Maharashtra. This becomes the fourth reported incident of sexual exploitation within some days after the horrific rape and murder case of a Kolkata doctor.
The victim student was on her way from college to home when the rapist driver offered her drugged water. As a result, the female student lost consciousness.
Following this, an autorickshaw driver took her to a distant place and sexually assaulted her. The victim student is now getting medical treatment in the aftermath of sexual assault in an undisclosed local hospital.
Her family filed a rape complaint against a suspected autorickshaw driver on August 26, 2024. Since then, the nursing community and other hospital staffers have expressed outrage at this incident.
It led them to hold protests and block roads while demanding justice for a 19-year-old nursing student whom an autorickshaw driver raped.
Police are recently looking for a rapist driver. They are examining CCTV footage from the area surrounding the incident place to arrest the culprit.
Authorities have formed an eleven-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate this matter. A senior female officer will lead SIT.
This rape incident has fueled anger among the Indian public due to increasing sexual assault cases in the country. A sweeper sexually molested two KG class little girls aged between three and four years last week.
It happened at Badlapur school named Adarsh Vidya Mandir in Maharashtra. Parents went to Badlapur Police Station to file a complaint against the suspect, but the police refused.
It led the victim girl’s parents to hold protests at Maharashtra railway station to force authorities to conduct legal action against the culprit. Afterward, Badlapur police filed a complaint and the school administration also took action by suspending the principal, the teacher, and two cleaning staff members.
