While the eight-year-old rape victim is struggling for life in the hospital, the administration is facing peculiar problem of safety of the rapists in the district jail premises.
Mandsaur district jail superintendent has written to the sessions court against sending two accused in the minor girl rape case to the facility fearing that the jail inmates might harm them.
The accused, identified as Irfan and Asif in connection with June 26 rape case, are currently in custody of Mandsaur Police which expires on July 5.
The rape of the girl--who had suffered grievous injuries to her neck, face, head and private parts--had led to public outrage in Mandsaur and neighbouring districts.
"I have written a letter to the district and sessions court stating that the prisoners are angry at the two accused for committing such heinous crime.
In these circumstances some unpleasant incident can take place in the prison," said Mandsaur district jail superintendent Sunil Sharma.
He said the prison does not have a separate cell to keep the accused duo, and in view of this, they should be sent to the Ujjain jail.
Meanwhile, Mandsaur Mobile Phone Sellers Association on Tuesday took out a rally demanding speedy trial of the case and capital punishment for the accused. The protesters handed over a memorandum to district Additional Superintendent of Police Sundar Singh Kanesh at the police control room.
Besides, Sri Ram Yuva Sena and Hindu Sabha on Tuesday demanded from Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan a Rs one crore aid for the family of the victim.
