| January 28, 2010 | Goa police registers Russian girl's rape case | | Panaji: Goa police have registered a case against two suspects accused of raping a nine-year-old Russian girl. The girl was reportedly molested and raped on Tuesday
while she
was with her mother at Arambol Beach , about 45 kilometres Panaji. "One case has
been registered at the Pernem Police station, where the mother of the victim has
lodged a complaint. According to her the girl was bathing in the sea when a person
started abusing her. The girl started crying and rushed to her mother, who was
on a beach bed," said A B Deshpande, Superintendent of Police, Goa , said on
Wednesday.
A government hospital in Panaji confirmed penetration during medical examination
of the girl. Police are trying to track down other suspects by releasing sketches
based on the accounts of the victim and her mother. The Russian Embassy has
expressed
concern over the incident and also on previous attacks on Russian women in Goa
. On December 25, 2009, two Russian girls alleged that a taxi driver tried to
rape them at Anjuna Beach while they were returning from a Christmas party. Earlier,
on December 1, 2009, a 25-year-old Russian girl alleged that a Goa politician
raped her in his car near Colva Beach. | |
