New Delhi: The 23-year-old physiotherapist, who was tortured and raped here by a gang of men four days ago, is stable but doctors warned of infection setting in, while Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said she could be taken abroad, if required.
“Her condition is very critical, she has a lot of injuries but if there is a need to take her abroad to treat her and save her life, we will not hesitate,” she said.
But as angry protests continued for the third day yesterday in the national capital and in other cities, investigators doubled their efforts to nab the two accused still at large. Teams have fanned out in six states. Four men, who were arrested earlier for the horrific crime that shook the nation, have, however, not shown any remorse, investigators said.
“They behave like hardened criminals. They have not shown any remorse for the beastly way they behaved with the woman,” a policeman questioning the four men, said. The savage rape and torture occurred on Sunday night when the woman and her male friend boarded a private bus, used for ferrying school children, in south Delhi after watching a movie.Her friend yesterday identified one of the accused Mukesh, younger brother of main accused Ram Singh, as one of the men involved in the gruesome attack.
The woman, however, continued to be critical although doctors in the Safdarjung Hospital said her condition has stabilised and that she was conscious. “She continues to be in stable condition. She is alert, conscious,” B D Athani, medical superintendent of Safdarjung Hospital, told reporters. “But there is still a danger of her catching infection,” he cautioned.
