New Delhi:
The five-year-old girl undergoing treatment here after she was
brutally raped for two days has suffered severe injuries in her
private parts, and will need reconstructive surgery, doctors said
Saturday.
Doctors said the girl's condition had stabilised, and she was
talking.
"She has suffered injuries in her private parts and will need to
undergo corrective and reconstruction surgery," said D.K. Sharma,
medical superintendent at the All India Institute of Medical
Sciences (AIIMS).
"Her condition is stable and she is out of danger. She has been
under close observation and monitoring. She has been put on
intravenous fluids and antibiotics," he added.
The girl was shifted to AIIMS Friday.
"She has been conscious, alert and all her parameters are normal.
She is talking," he said.
The medical bulletin issued by AIIMS says that a surgical
procedure was done on her midnight.
"She was shifted to AIIMS at 6.30 p.m. Friday. She was stable and
no intensive care was needed. She was kept in the emergency
section of the pediatrics department," Sharma said.
The doctor added that a detailed examination has been done on the
girl and a team of eight doctors from various departments has been
constituted to look into her case.
Sharma said Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad visited the hospital
in the morning to see the child.
"The minister visited the hospital in the morning at 11 a.m. to
see the patient. He also interacted with her parents," the doctor
said.
"We don't expect her to stay in hospital for long," the doctor
said.
The girl was abducted April 15 and kept hostage for two days
without food and water in a room in which the attacker lived, on
the ground floor of the building in east Delhi's Gandhi Nagar. The
victim's family stays in the same building, police said.
The girl, who was repeatedly raped, was rescued when members of
her family heard her screams Wednesday, police said.
The accused was arrested from his village in Muzaffarpur district
in Bihar late Friday.
