A tale of pure evil has emerged from Bihar’s Muzaffarpur, where a 5-year-old girl’s life was shattered by her own neighbor’s savagery. In Mushahri thana limits, the child faced unimaginable horror while foraging for trash near a derelict brick factory.
Sujit alias Shukla, a local youth, exploited her isolation, leading her to a pond and subjecting her to rape. The assault caused such severe hemorrhage that the victim passed out. Terrified, the rapist concocted a tale of a puncture wound to summon help from her family, hoping to deflect suspicion.
Discovering the blood streaming from the child’s genitals, relatives were plunged into despair. The girl’s faint whisper of the truth mobilized the village into action. Outraged locals hunted down Sujit as he attempted to flee, thrashing him brutally until police arrived to take custody.
SDPO Manoj Kumar Singh affirmed rapid police measures: arrest effected, suspect grilled, FSL team deployed for evidence collection. Assurances of fast-track justice aim to deliver the harshest sentence. The critically ill child, stabilized initially at a nearby facility, now receives specialized care at SKMCH.
This atrocity has provoked national condemnation, fueling debates on child protection laws and rural policing. The incident demands systemic reforms to shield innocents from predators in plain sight.
