Salepur Rape Case: Cops Seek Two-Day Remand Of Accused

Salepur: Police on Friday produced Mohammad Mustafa, the accused in Salepur minor rape case, before POSCO court here.

The cops have sought a two-day remand of the accused for interrogation in connection with the case.

Mustafa had allegedly attempted suicide inside Salepur Sub-Jail by hanging himself with a ‘gamcha’ in the toilet on Wednesday night. However, he was rescued by the jail staff.

The Odisha Crime Branch has already designated the minor rape incident as a ‘Red Flag’ case.

The state government has also provided an ex-gratia of Rs 5 lakh to the family of the victim, who succumbed to her injuries while undergoing treatment at SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack on April 29.

On April 21, the girl was rescued from a school veranda and rushed to a hospital in Salepur. There were injuries on her head, face, chest and private parts and scratches on the neck.

She was later referred to the SCB after her condition deteriorated and kept on ventilator support. After a weeklong battle for life, she succumbed to her injuries.
