12-year-old Rape survivor seeks justice for daughter

A 12-year-old survivor of rape, who recently gave birth to a child , had to move a Howrah court near Kolkata on Monday March 20, 2017 to get the police to register an FIR to investigate the alleged rape.

The girl was allegedly raped by her karate teacher and five others. Her family has accused the Jagatpallavpur police of inaction as the suspects allegedly have political connection. The victim and her family are currently homeless and need police protection to return home, the girl's lawyer MD Farrukh said.

When TOI got in touch with Howrah SP Sumit Kumar, he said, "We have received the certified copy of the FIR. I will look into the plight of the victim and ensure justice is done."
