Motihari rape case: NCW member unhappy over hospital's role

Motihari: The National Commission for Women (NCW) on Saturday took strong exception to the manner in which the alleged rape incident was being handled by the Motihari Sadar hospital.NCW member Sushma Sahu reached the Sadar hospital to enquire about the condition of the victim of the 21-year-old rape survivor.She sought the earlier medical report of the victim from the Civil Surgeon besides seeking 10 years of medical reports of rape incidents in East Champaran (Motihari) district.[caption id="attachment_2856062" align="alignleft" width="380"] Representational image.

"Whoever be the guilty, no one will be spared," Sahu said.On the directive of Motihari District Magistrate on Saturday, the girl was again examined by a four-member medical board who submitted its report to the Civil Surgeon.Superintendent of Police Jitendra Rana had on Friday said that a three member medical board who examined the girl on15 and 22 June did not confirm the rape.Meanwhile, three more persons were arrested in this connection on Saturday.Mohammad Jabiullah, Mohammad Kalimullah and Mohammad Nusrullah were arrested from Jhakia village under Banjaria police station, police said in a statement.The three arrested persons are the brothers of the main accused Samiullah who was on Friday arrested from a bus standin Motihari town, it said.
