New Delhi: The condition of the 5-year-old rape survivor in Delhi is stable and she is still on a semi-solid diet, said doctors treating her at AIIMS. Her fever has subsided and she is more alert and active. S team of psychiatrists are counselling the 5-year old.
"She has had a good breakfast. Her fever has come down. And she is afebrile (not feverish) now. Her colostomy is functioning normally," Dr DK Sharma, Medical Superintendent of AIIMS, said in a medical bulletin. "The five-year-old female child is recovering as expected. She is active and taking adequate liquids and semi-solid food," he said.
Meanhwile, the second accused in the case, Pradeep, has been remanded to four days of police custody. He was brought to Delhi from Bihar on Monday. The main accused, Manoj Kumar, is in custody till May 4.
There were multiple protests across the national capital against the rape of the 5-year-old girl in East Delhi. In earlier protests, there was a demand for better laws and amendments. This time apart from that, protesters directed their anger mainly on the Delhi Police Commissioner.
CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat said, "I strongly believe that the police commissioner must resign. If he does not resign, the Home Ministry must act."
But the government does not seem keen on showing Neeraj Kumar the door as yet. And a defensive Kumar himself didn't seem too perturbed as he finally spoke to the media 96 hours after the incident. He even told CNN-IBN that he is being targeted by those he had once arrested.
The political class wants Neeraj Kumar to be made accountable for law and order lapses on his watch. AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said, "Neeraj Kumar's head should roll. Is Neeraj Kumar accountable or not accountable? His ACP slapped a girl protester, police refused to register an FIR, is Neeraj Kumar accountable or not accountable?"
