Callous UP hospital leaves gang-rape victim writhing in pain for SIX HOURS until police intervene to get her admitted

Chief medical superintendent defends the decision, asking: "Who would take responsibility if such a patient died in the hospital?"



A gang rape victim begged for medical attention for nearly six hours as she writhed in pain on the floor of a women's hospital in Muzaffarnagar district of Uttar Pradesh.



She was finally admitted to the hospital after intervention by police and media persons.



Rubina (name changed), a resident of Kamheda village under Kakrauli police station, was allegedly abducted by two men and two women from a neighbouring village on July 25 because of their enmity with her family.



Uttar Pradesh: The rape victim was only admitted after six hours when the police arrived

She was allegedly kept in confinement, gang-raped and then thrown in an agricultural field on July 29.



The 23-year-old victim returned home but didn't reveal much to her family.



However, when she suddenly fell ill and started bleeding excessively on Tuesday morning, she narrated the traumatic incident to her mother.



"Later she fainted. We took her to the woman's hospital. A lady doctor examined her on the floor of the hospital and then asked me to take her to the police first.



"Whenever my daughter was regaining consciousness, she was begging to the doctors to start her treatment. But they used foul language and cursed her saying she should die of shame," Rubina's mother said.



"Many passersby were watching my daughter in curiosity. Some of them also tried to convince the doctors to admit her but in vain. She was admitted after six hours when the police reached the hospital on the request of media persons," she added.

Dr Mridula Agrawal, chief medical superintendent of the hospital, was unrepentant.



"Who would take responsibility if such a patient died in the hospital?" she said.

"Anyway, she didn't come to the doctors on duty. She was there outside. Later we admitted her when the police came."



Muzaffarnagar SSP Manjil Saini said, "I asked the police to reach the hospital as soon as I came to know about the woman. The doctors are treating her now. A case would also be registered after her medical examination."
