8-month-old raped by 28-year-old cousin in Delhi, critical
New Delhi : An eight-month-old minor was brutally raped by a 28-year-old cousin in the national capital; her condition came to normal after three-hour-long surgery after which she was shifted to ICU.
The minor was brought to hospital bleeding with severe wounds on Sunday evening.
The police said that the minor was raped by cousin when both the parents were out for work.
"I left for duty and later my wife also had to leave for about an hour," said the baby's father, a labourer. The child was left in the care of a relative in the building.
Domestic help found the baby crying on a bed full of blood. The baby was taken to hospital, where it was confirmed that she had been raped.
The accused man, who had taken the child for playing with her, is missing since the incident.
"This man puts humanity to shame. Despite being a father he did this," said Swati Maliwal, who heads the Delhi Commission for Women.
The worst has happened. An 8 month old baby has been brutally raped in the Capital and is battling for her life in a Hospital. Going to the hospital to meet her. Am totally numb. Terrified to face her! Please please pray for her.

Hitting out at the police in a series of tweets, she raged: "This is not the rape of an eight-month-old child but the rape of the Delhi Women's Commission."
