‘Damini’ wanted all of them hanged
‘Damini’ wanted all of them hanged
It was a heart-rendering scene at the Safdarjung Hospital on December 24 when the victim of Delhi’s gang-rape case Damini (Nirbhaya or Amanat) was told that her statement would have to recorded second time.
The team of country’s top surgeons attending on her were against it as she was too fragile to speak. Her entire lever and intestine had been removed due to extreme damage caused.
But the Police wanted her statement to be recorded immediately as doctors were not sure whether she would survive or not. Her statement was vital to the case as well.
But ruckus created by SDM Usha Chaturvedi made the statement of the victim inconsequential. But who will tell the girl to undergo another trauma and record her statement second time.. The doctors attending on her were unwilling and so were the family members.
But the girl was made of different mettle. The gritty told the doctors and the police that she would record her statement again if it was needed, come what may as she wanted the accused to be hanged.
Insiders in the hospital said that the arrangements were made to seek the presence of another metropolitan magistrate to record her statement again.
The brave-heart girl moved everybody present in the Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital when she insisted on giving a piece of paper and pen to write down the names of the accused who had brutally attacked her. She remembered the names of all the persons, entire incident in sequence and said she would like to see them hanged.
It is also revealed that immediately after regaining consciousness, she had enquired about her friend who accompanied her on the fateful night. When told that he was fine, she expressed the desire to see him. She talked to her friend for a while and then the family members. Later, she agreed to record her statement and then second time too. Its now that her statement has become a dyeing statement and vital evidence against all 6 accused.
