Such horrible acts with an innocent baby took place in national capital and outraged India. For days, there was fear that the girl may not survive. Luckily, she survived. One of the accused, Manoj Kumar Shah, had escaped to his hometown in Chitkauna in Muzaffarpur district (Bihar).
The main accused Manoj had even acted as if he was helping the family in tracing the 'missing' girl, though he had abducted her. Manoj was arrested and brought to Delhi by air. He is now in jail and is facing trial. His other co-accused Pradeep Ram, 19, has also been arrested.
They had repeatedly raped the child. In fact, there were such injuries inflicted on the girl that the doctors were left in a state of shock. The insertions of these foreign objects had caused infection and had worsened her condition.
She was bleeding heavily and was unconscious when she was found in the locked flat. The perverts had committed unbelievable acts. The girl endured the torture for two days in the house where she had been kept confined. They had tried to kill her, first one of them tried to strangulate but failed as he was drunk.
Then, another tried to slit her throat with razor. The criminals had watched pornographic movies on cell phones before committing the crime. This was revealed after the suspects were caught after a major nationwide hunt.
This horrible crime took place on April 15, 2013. Nearly 40 hrs after she was abducted, the girl was 'recovered' from the same building where she lived with her parents. Her family members had earlier been snubbed by police.
A policeman had even given Rs 2,000 to the family and asked them to keep mum. But as the incident hit headlines, media screamed and people took to streets.
The search began for the monsters. Manoj lived in the same building on rent. He had been missing. But was traced and caught.
As the names of victims and their families are not revealed to protect the identities, the media called the child 'Gudia' or a 'Doll'.
The case hit the conscience of the nation after the earlier Delhi gangrape case in which Ram Singh was the main accused other than four others.
Manoj whose surname is also spelt as 'Sah' had raped his 'wife' also before their marriage. It was after the rape, that the girl was married to her in his hometown. The other accused Pradeep worked in a garment factory. He hails from Sheikhpura in Bihar.
It is learnt that Pradeep Ram and Manoj Sah had escaped together from Delhi. Pradeep went to Sheikhpura and then reached his uncle's residence in Lakhisarai from where he was arrested. Both these persons are a blot on human race. We expect the courts to hand over the sternest possible punishment to them.
