Bankura (West Bengal): In another incident of rape in West Bengal, a physically
challenged woman was allegedly raped by a junior doctor in a
government hospital in Bankura district, police said Wednesday.
"We have received a complaint that a deaf and mute woman was raped
by a junior doctor of Bankura Sammilani Medical College. The
victim was medical examined locally and we are taking her to
Kolkata for another medical test," Bankura Superintendent of
Police Pranav Kumar said.
The clothes of the victim and the bedsheets have also been sent
for examination.
The 19-year-old girl was found lying naked in an unconscious state
in the medicine department of the hospital in Bankura, about 150
km from the state capital, where she was admitted Monday night for
chest pain.
Following a complaint by the victim's family, the hospital has
constituted a three member committee to look into the allegations.
"We have received a complaint in this regard. It is learnt that
the said doctor examined the patient without being accompanied
either by female hospital staff or a female attendant of the
patient. The probe team will look into the allegations," hospital
superintendent Panchanan Kundu said.
The incident comes at a time when the Mamata Banerjee-led
government has been facing flak over rising rape cases in the
state.
While an Anglo-Indian woman was raped in the heart of Kolkata-Park
Street earlier this month, a ragpicker was Feb 24 allegedly
gangraped and then murdered by a truck driver and his helper in
North 24 Parganas' Baranagar.
The allegations of rape continued when a woman commuter complained
that she was raped by a gang of robbers after she tried to
confront them during a robbery attempt in a suburban train near
Katwa in Burdwan district.
In another incident, two people were lynched after they were
caught raping a woman in East Midnapore Feb 26.
