Kumar made the request to Gehlot over telephone, sources in the CM's office here said.

They said the Rajasthan CM assured Kumar that lawful action will be initiated against perpetrators of the crime against an 11 year-old girl hailing from Darbhanga who was gangraped allegedly by six persons in Rajasthan four months back and thrown on the road.

The girl is presently recuperating in a hospital in Jaipur after undergoing nearly a dozen operations.

He said he would also seek adequate security to the family of the victim.

The Bihar CM said that an official from the state with an aide would be present in the Jaipur hospital to provide assistance, including monetary benefit for speedy recovery of the victim.
