The Kunduli gangrape survivor, who had been admitted to the Jeypore Sub-Divisional Hospital in Koraput district, was discharged on Monday.
The 14-year-old tribal girl had been admitted to the hospital after she complained of stomach pain just a day after she was discharged from the Sahid laxman Nayak Medical College Hospital in the district.
Though she expressed her wish to go to her village, it was due to the reluctance of her family members to take her home that she was handed over to the District Child Welfare Committee (CWC) soon after her discharge from the hospital on Monday. She would be lodged in a short stay home, official sources said.
The sources added that the girl was not taken to her village due to security reasons.
Notably, after the gangrape survivor had been discharged from the Sahid laxman Nayak Medical College Hospital on Friday last, she deposed before the Koraput Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) Court the same day to record her statement under Section 164 of the CrPC. She was then sent to a remand home as she refused to go back to her village demanding immediate arrest of the accused of her gangrape.
The Class IX student alleged she had been gangraped at gunpoint by four paramilitary personnel inside the lanjiguda forest on October 10 when she was on her way home.
