Formulate scheme to secure lives of minor rape victims: MPHRC to Govt

Wednesday, 30 November 2016 | Staff Reporter | Bhopal

Madhya Pradesh Human Rights Commission (MPHRC) in its recommendations to the State Government asked to formulate scheme to secure the lives of rape victim minor girls.

The MPHRC while hearing a case of minor girl rape in Hoshangabad made recommendation with the state government that a scheme like ladli lakshmi should be made for the rape victim minor girls to make their lives secure. Education and treatment should also be included in the scheme. The Commission referring to another similar incidence of Balaghat made recommendation to Additional   Chief Secretary (ACS -Home) and Principal Secretary (PS)– Women and Child Development (WCD).

The Commission has taken cognizance over the incidence of rape of minor in Hoshangabad. During the case the Commission found that no scheme has been made for the welfare and to secure future of victims in cases of rape and other serious crimes against girls.

The Commission after serious deliberations over the situation recommended that the state government should deposit Rs 1 lakh for her future for the mental and physical torture she underwent due to rape. This amount would be in addition to the sum that victim would get under MP Victim Compensation Scheme.

The Commission furthers aid that there is a scheme called ladli laxmi in the state to brighten the future of girls but there is no scheme for the rape victim girls. Hence a scheme should be formed to save the future of girls who are victim of heinous crime like rape. The scheme to be prepared should include provisions of treatment and education of the victim girls so that their future is not ruined.

The Commission made these recommendations to ACS – Home and PS WCD.
