Madhya Pradesh: Minor girl raped, bitten multiple times by two men

-

A minor girl, aged 12, was allegedly raped by two men in Madhya Pradesh’s Satna district. The victim was found covered in blood and bitten multiple times.

The crime took place near a renowned temple in the area and the accused, who have now been arrested, reportedly worked for a trust managing the place of worship.

They are reportedly associated with Maa Sharda Devi Mandir Management Committee, Maihar.

We got information on Friday morning that around a 12-year-old girl was raped in the district. After a preliminary inquiry, the police arrested two accused in this case. The girl is undergoing treatment and she has been referred to Rewa. Strict actions will be taken against the accused. Further investigation is underway,” Sub-Divisional Officer of Police Lokesh Dawar said.

The victim continues to remain in critical condition.

The incident took place on Thursday in the temple town of Maihar. The two accused men had allegedly lured the girl into an isolated place following which they assaulted her, police said.

The accused have been identified as Ravindra Kumar Ravi and Atul Bhadoliya, according to a PTI report.

Accused inserted hard object in victim’s private parts

The two men had allegedly inserted hard objects into the minor’s private parts after taking her to the isolated crime scene.

“I am not denying that a stick or some other object was inserted into the 12-year-old’s private parts by accused Ravindra Kumar Ravi and Atul Bhadoliya. But this is something that can only be confirmed only in a medical report. We are still awaiting her medical report. Yes she was bleeding and doctors are monitoring her health,” Satna Superintendent of Police Ashutosh Gupta said.

The news of the incident prompted an angry crowd to reach the hospital where the girl is getting treated. Police and district officials rushed to the hospital to prevent the situation from escalating.

CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan responds

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that the incident was distressing and ordered officials to take swift action against the accused.

“I have received information about the rape in Maihar. My heart is full of pain, I am distressed. The police have arrested the criminals. Instructions have been given to the administration to make arrangements for proper treatment of the girl.  No criminal will be spared, strictest action will be taken,” Chouhan said.

Meanwhile, the Maa Sharda Devi Mandir Management Committee issued a statement saying that the accused, who were employed with them, have been sacked after a criminal case was filed against them.

“Their indecent act has tarnished the image of the temple,” the statement said.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-
Image
After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
