Pyare Miya case: Three minor rape survivors admitted to hospital

Days after the death of a minor rape survivor in Bhopal, three other minor girls who were allegedly raped by local newspaper owner Pyare Miya, were admitted to the hospital after their health deteriorated. The girls were placed in a government-run shelter home after the case was registered against Miya.

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): In yet another shocking development in the case revolving around the alleged rape of five minors in Bhopal, three of the survivors were admitted to hospital on Sunday, days after one survivor had died.

According to reports, when the Special Investigation Team (SIT), which was constituted to probe the death of the survivor, reached the shelter home where the survivors are currently staying, they found that the health of three girls had deteriorated.

The girls were reportedly suffering from vomiting, stomach ache, and stress.

An ambulance was immediately called in, following which two girls were admitted to the Jai Prakash district hospital, while one was admitted to the government's Hamidia hospital.

Meanwhile, the parents of the minor survivors have alleged that they have not been receiving any information about the girls and are also not being allowed to meet them. They said that as a result, the girls were stressed.

The Madhya Pradesh government had formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) of police to probe the death of the 17-year-old rape victim who allegedly took an overdose of sleeping pills at the shelter home in Bhopal.

The minor, who was one of the five girls allegedly raped by local newspaper owner Pyare Miya (68), died at a government-run hospital on January 20.

At a high-level meeting on Friday, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said the SIT will probe the incident and no one will be spared.

According to the police, the probe team will be headed by Inspector General of Police (crime against women) Deepika Suri and will include City Superintendent of Police of TT Nagar Umesh Tiwari and CID inspector Pankaj Diwani.

In July last year, a case was registered against Miya for allegedly raping five minor girls on several occasions.

Thereafter, the five victims were placed in a government-run shelter home in view of their security.
