The National Commission for Women (NCW) took strong exception on Saturday, to the manner in which the alleged rape incident was being handled by the Motihari Sadar hospital.

NCW member Sushma Sahu reached the Sadar hospital to enquire about the condition of the victim of the 21-year-old rape survivor. She sought the earlier medical report of the victim from the Civil Surgeon besides seeking 10 years of medical reports of rape incidents in East Champaran (Motihari) district.

The girl, in her complaint, had alleged that her neighbour Samiullah had raped her on June 13 at Jamui Tola village in Motihari, following which a complaint was lodged on June 15 in this regard at Ramgarhwa police station. "This is clearly a case of rape which is evident from the three stitches that she had on her private parts and this creates doubt about the role of police and the hospital in this case," Sahu said.

On the delay in getting medical reports of rape incidents of 10 years, she straightaway went into the record room and perused three-four medical reports, none of which confirmed the incident of rape. She has summoned the Civil Surgeon with the medical reports of rape incidents of 10 years within a week in Delhi.

The women's body member, however, said Deputy Superintendent Dr Manoj Kumar and nurse Kamini Kumari had confirmed to her in writing that the girl was raped. "Whoever be the guilty, no one will be spared," Sahu said.

On the directive of Motihari District Magistrate on Saturday, the girl was again examined by a four-member medical board who submitted its report to the Civil Surgeon. Superintendent of Police Jitendra Rana had said on Friday that a three member medical board who examined the girl on June 15 and June 22, did not confirm the rape.

Meanwhile, three more persons were arrested in this connection on Saturday. Mohammad Jabiullah, Mohammad Kalimullah and Mohammad Nusrullah were arrested from Jhakia village under Banjaria police station, police said in a statement.

The three arrested persons are the brothers of the main accused Samiullah who was arrested on Friday from a bus stand in Motihari town, it said.
