Odisha: Rape victim critical, put on ventilator
January 14, 2013
The minor girl -- who was allegedly gang-raped in Rayagada and later attempted self-immolation -- was today put on ventilator after her condition worsened.       

The condition of the girl, who is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Visakhapatanam, is very critical, Rayagada District Collector S S Padhi said.        

The orphan girl was allegedly gang-raped by some men while she was returning from work late on January 2. Unable to bear the humiliation, she set herself on fire and sustained nearly 80 per cent burns.
