NEW DELHI: The 23-year-old woman who was gangraped four days ago by a
bunch of men in a moving bus, wants her tormenters to be punished.
She has been communicating by writing notes to her parents.
"The
culprits should be punished," she wrote in one note; in another, she
enquired after her male friend who had tried to defend her and was
beaten, a doctor at
Safdarjung Hospital told
IANS.
In
one note, the victim asked if the culprits had been arrested; in
another, she enquired after her male friend who was beaten up by the six
accused. The woman and her male friend were stripped, robbed and then
dumped by the roadside by the six men in a private bus. The torture
lasted about 40 minutes.
The four men arrested for having
tortured and gang-raped the physiotherapist, have shown no remorse.
Investigators said that they behaved like hardened criminals.
"None of the accused have shown even an iota of remorse or any kind of regret for what they have done," a senior
police officer interrogating the four men told IANS.
Observing their demeanour, police said they would verify whether the men have criminal records.
"Their involvement in cases not yet reported might surface," another investigator said.
Meanwhile, doctors said that she was conscious and in a
stable condition but warned that there was still danger of infection setting in during the next few days.
"She continues to be in stable condition," B.D. Athani, medical superintendent of the Safdarjung Hospital, told reporters.
"She
is alert, conscious. She is making an attempt to breathe on her own.
Our immediate and foremost aim is to get her out of ICU and get her
stable," said Athani, who was flanked by a panel of six doctors who are
treating the girl.
"She is stable but there is still a danger of her catching infection," he said.
Doctors
have been admiring the young woman's fortitude and grit, despite the
intense pain: "Being a medical student, she understands the treatment
process and has been cooperating with the hospital staff. Her lower
vagina has been badly damaged, but her upper vagina is not so affected.
If she comes out of this crucial phase, she could lead a normal life,"
the
doctor told IANS, on condition of anonymity.
According to a doctor, who is treating her, they have a "extremely unusual case".
"For
the past 30 years as a surgeon..I have not seen such a grave injury to
the intestines in any case of sexual assault. It is extremely unusual
and rare.. none of us has seen such a case," Sunil Jain, a specialist in
general surgery at Safdarjung Hospital, said.
Calling her a
"brave girl," Athani said she had withstood a lot of suffering in the
last few days and had undergone two surgeries since her admission Sunday
night.
"She is fighting it out. The girl has an immense
fighting spirit ..needless to say, because today (Thursday) is the
fourth day ..she has sustained such grievous injury and remained alert
and withstood it all," Athani said.
Doctors from the adjoining All India Instititute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) are also providing assistance.
The
doctor also said that the young woman knew that her torture and
gang-rape by six men in a moving bus had left the nation shocked, and
that there has been a massive outpouring of grief and expressions of
support.
Delhi police official said the horrific incident took
place when the young couple reached Munirka in south Delhi around 9.15
pm Sunday after watching a movie and boarded a stationary bus to go to
Dwarka.
Around six men in the bus, including the driver and
conductor, allegedly misbehaved with the woman. When the boyfriend
intervened, he was brutally beaten up with iron rods. She was then
sexually assaulted in the moving bus.
The girl and her boyfriend
were then thrown out of the bus under Mahipalpur flyover in south Delhi.
The assailants also snatched their mobiles.
A toll plaza patrol
vehicle spotted the girl and her friend and called the police, who took
them to Safdarjung Hospital around 12.15 a.m. Monday.
The woman's ordeal, a police officer said, lasted for 45 long minutes.
