35-yr-old Bulandshahr rape survivor says doctor did not believe them, behaved roughly
"I had bruises all over...my daughter was bleeding...but the doctor didn't believe us. She said we were lying about her condition," the woman told NDTV channel.
"The women were already traumatized. They didn't know how to react to the rough behavior," said the survivor's brother-in-law, who witnessed the attack.
The doctor has however, refused to respond to the allegation, reports said.
NDTV quoting sources close to her claim that she stayed beyond her shift for the family and was misunderstood because she tried to follow proper procedure for rape examinations.
Three days after the horrific mother-daughter gang-rape in Bulandshahr, the family has threatened suicide if the culprits are not punished.
"I want my wife and daughter to punish them. If they are not punished within three months, then all three of us will commit suicide," the cab driver whose family was attacked, robbed, beaten up and tortured, said at a press conference, quoted NDTV.
The family was driving to a funeral in Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh, around 65 km from Delhi, on Friday night when their car was waylaid by a gang of robbers.
The miscreants took the vehicle to a swamp and then robbed the family, beat up the three men in the car and took them to the fields, leaving the women in the car.
"There were seven-eight men. They tied our hands and feet, beat us and kept beating us even when we begged for water," the husband-his face covered in a handkerchief- said.
He said he saw the attackers drag his wife, daughter and sister-in-law to another part of the field.The gang left after nearly three hours.
". What they did to my wife and daughter...I can't bring myself to repeat it...My daughter has learnt karate but what could she do at gunpoint?"
"We dialed 100 for 15 minutes, but got either a busy tone or no response. Finally, I called my friend and he called the police," said the man. The spot, where the crime was committed, was barely 100 metres away from a police post.
The Uttar Pradesh Government has suspended four police officers following the incident.
Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav also set a 24-hour deadline for the arrest of all the attackers, which ended yesterday with only three men being arrested and the rest missing.
The family has not returned to their home in Noida to avoid public shame.
"How can we face our neighbours and friends? ...everyone knows what happened. We went to a friend's house but he has now asked us to leave. We have nowhere to go...", the man said, according to the channel.
