Jodhpur, August 27: In a shocking incident reported from Rajasthan’s Jodhpur, a 15-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped by two youth in the premises of a government-run hospital on Sunday, August 25. The incident has once again raised questions over security issues in hospitals.

According to reports, the 15-year-old girl had left her house in anger after she had a fight with her parents. The girl had reached Mahatma Gandhi Hospital in Jodhpur and was alone there when the two accused spotted her in the hospital premises.

The two accused, after initiating a conversation with the girl, misled her and took her near the secluded area behind the hospital’s biomedical waste dumpyard and raped her there.

Meanwhile, the girl’s family searched for her extensively and after they couldn’t locate her, the family filed a case at the Soorasagar police station on Monday (August 26).

The police found the girl in the hospital premises on Monday evening and the girl’s parents were informed. The girl told her parents about the rape after she met them.

Police said that a case was filed after medical examination of the victim. A forensic team also reached the hospital to collect evidence from the dumpyard where the crime took place.

Former Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot Raises Concern

Former Rajasthan CM and veteran Congress leader Ashok Gehlot expressed concerns over the rising rape cases in Jodhpur. This was the third incident of rape against minor in the last 10 days.

“The incident of gang rape of a minor girl in Mahatma Gandhi Government Hospital of Jodhpur is another example of the jungle raj conditions developing in Rajasthan. It seems that neither the public representatives nor the police in Jodhpur pay any attention to law and order, due to which the courage of criminals is increasing day by day. Our peaceful and crime-free Jodhpur has been ruined by the misrule of BJP,” said Gehlot in his post on X.

The rape incident at the government hospital in Jodhpur comes even as outrage continues over the rape and murder of a trainee woman doctor in Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital. Concerns have been raised over the safety of hospital staff, doctors and patients and the medical fraternity has called for tighter security measures at hospitals.
