"Some People Helped": Ujjain Cop To NDTV On Rape Shocker | Read

Horrifying visuals from Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain, which show a 15-year-old girl, semi-naked and bleeding after rape, going door-to-door for help, have sparked outrage across the country. But 72 hours on, as new details in the case come to the fore, there are several mismatches in police statements and case documents. Also, police are yet to make a breakthrough in finding the culprits.  Visuals of the girl going door-to-door seeking help but finding none had sparked massive outrage. One man was seen shooing her away as the girl, semi-naked and bleeding, approached him. Police officer Sharma, however, said it is not true that no one helped her. "There were mixed responses. Some people did help her, they gave her some money. A toll booth staff also helped her," he said. Asked about the visuals that show the girl being shooed away, the police officer said, "Some people may have had reservations, but they did help her financially. She had Rs. 120 when we found her," he said. The girl was rushed to hospital after a priest from a nearby ashram alerted police.
