New Delhi: An 18-year-old girl is battling for life after being raped repeatedly by different men for the last six months.

As per doctors at Delhi’s Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, the girl who has injuries all over her body is in critical state. She is unable to use her lower limbs. She has undergone multiple sexual assault and abuse.

As per the girl’s statement, she was trafficked from West Bengal last year and was taken to Rishikesh, Haridwar, Manali, Mangaluru and other places where she was raped by different men.

An NGO, Shakti Vahini, had received the information about the girl’s trafficking in April but they were not able to locate her. It was on Monday that Kolkata Police informed Shakti Vahini that she was admitted at Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital.

The NGO has helped the police in identifying the main accused who first lured the girl out of Kolkata and pushed her into prostitution racket.

A team of Kolkata Police is on its way to Delhi to record the victim’s statement and take her back to Kolkata for further action in the case.
