MUMBAI: A four-year-old Indian girl has died in hospital nearly two weeks after she was raped and found unconscious at a farm, hospital staff and reports said yesterday.
The girl had been taken by air ambulance from the central Madhya Pradesh state to the Care Hospital in Nagpur city on April 20, where she died on Monday night, a spokesman said.
“She died from a cardiac arrest at 7.45pm on Monday. We were taking all measures... but yesterday her condition got bad and her blood pressure went down. She was not reacting to medications,” P A Sriram at the hospital told AFP. The girl had been found unconscious by her parents on April 18, a day after a 35-year-old man allegedly raped her in the town of Ghansour and dumped her at a farm, the Press Trust of India reported.
She was initially taken to a local hospital, before being transported to Nagpur in Maharashtra state two days later.
The police have arrested one accused in the case in northern Bihar state, PTI said.
