Police nabbed two people in connection with the alleged gangrape of a minor at Jodhpur’s MG Government Hospital on August 26.
While the identity of the two were not revealed, police said both were engaged as contractual sweepers at the hospital.
According to police, the 14-year-old survivor had left her house in a fit of rage after quarreling with her mother and went to the hospital canteen on August 25 afternoon.
When she did not return home even by evening, her family lodged a missing person’s complaint with the police.
Meanwhile, at the canteen, the two men allegedly approached her on finding her alone, and took her to a dumping yard of the hospital. There, they allegedly raped her before fleeing the spot. It was when the teenager came out of the dumping yard that police came to know of the crime, sources said.
Pratap Nagar ACP Anil Kumar, while talking to the media said the two men had raped the girl. “A missing person’s report was filed by the girl’s parents. We got to know about the rape on Monday and investigation is underway. The forensic team was called and evidence collected as per rules.
