Ward boy rapes disabled girl, held : Pune

A ward boy at a hospital in Chinchwad, Pune, was arrested on Saturday for raping a disabled girl who was undergoing treatment at the hospital. Dr Varsha Vishal Sonawane and Dr Vishal Atmaram Sonawane - who run the Suyash hospital for the differently-able, were also taken into police custody for trying to cover up the matter.
Ward boy Subhash Bhausaheb Bhodad (22) allegedly raped the 22-year-old on Tuesday. Sensing something wrong, the doctors conducted a medical examination of the girl to confirm the crime. The Sonawane couple then locked Bhodade within the hospital and allegedly demanded Rs. 5 lakh from him to hush up the matter.
Police investigation has revealed that relatives of Bhodade initially agreed to pay Rs. 80,000 for his release. However, some of his relatives approached the police.

All this while, the victim's parents were unaware of their daughter's ordeal. The Sonawanes then tried to offer them Rs. 1 lakh and free medical treatment of the victim. But the father chose to report the matter to the police, who then arrested the three on Saturday and got their custody for four days.

The girl was sent to a government hospital for medical test. Her statement is yet to be recorded.
