A 10-year-old boy, a victim of sexual violence in the Seelampur Police Station area of Delhi, died Saturday morning at Lok Nayak Jaiprakash Hospital.
A Delhi police officer investigating the case has confirmed the death of the suffering child, he said. This ten-year-old boy was sexually abused by three friends. Among them is one of his first cousin. After this incident on September 18, the child victim did not inform the family.
After the incident, the victim was admitted to the ICU of Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Hospital (LNJP). All the children involved in the incident are in the age group of 10-12 years.
“We were with him and then some doctors came in and said his heart had stopped beating. They asked to wait outside and after a few minutes they said he was gone,” the boy's mother said.
She said: "Initially we had been told that we could take him home next week. How can he die suddenly?"
