Madhya Pradesh human Rights Commission (MPHRC) has asked the State Government to come out with a scheme like ladli laxmi, for the welfare of rape victims so that they could lead a normal life.
Taking cognisance of the recently reported rape case in Jabalpur and Gwalior, the MPHRC has sought district Collectors and SPs of Jabalpur, Gwalior, Shivpuri, Panna and Katni to submit detailed report in the rape cases in their districts.
Besides, the Commission has also written to Principal Secretaries of Social Justice department and Woman and Child Development department for making adequate arrangement for rehabilitation of victim girls.
Besides, in connection with two rape victims in Jabalpur and Gwalior and the newborn of one victim, the HRC has sought separate reports. From the SPs of Shivpuri, Panna and Katni, the Commission has asked to submit report regarding what action has been taken against the accused.
Besides, Collectors, SPs and CMHOs of both the districts have been asked to provide free of cost treatment to the victims and the newborn, besides providing security to the rape victims.
Regarding the rape case reported in Panna district, the HRC has sought to know from the Collector and SP as who were the police personnel who had harassed the victim. The victim was sexually assaulted by her step-father and he is at present in jail.
The Commission dragged the attention of the home department towards Madhya Pradesh crime victim compensation scheme- 2015 under which there is provision of only `2 lakh relief. No effective scheme is in place.
