Today its three months that the 7 year old little angel from Vasco was mercilessly raped in broad day light in the toilet of Deep Vihar School run by the Mormugao Port Trust where she was studying in the second standard.
While the little girl and her grief stricken parents relentlessly quest for justice, the alleged rapist and his accomplice are still free birds possibly scouting for their next catch. From the manner in which the little girl was raped it is abundantly clear that it was not the rapist’s first rape and unless he is nabbed it won’t be his last. The little girl has identified the picture of the rapist as well as that of his accomplice. Every one is aware of what transpired on that fateful day and the dubious unpardonable role of the Headmistress Sharlet Furtado and the other teachers in washing up and destroying all the evidence after that gruesome rape. It is only the police who want us to believe otherwise. With the blessings and under directions of the top ruling politicians the Goa Police have systematically hushed up the case. This heinous crime against the 7 year old took place on January 14th, but Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar has to date not cared to visit the victim and her grieving family. The reasons are obvious. It is appalling that he has dared to show such insensitivity. But let us keep the little wounded girl and her shattered family in our thoughts. The authorities may have abandoned them, but we cannot.
