The condition of the eight-year-old girl raped in Madhya Pradesh's Mandsaur was "continuously improving" and she was likely to be discharged in about two weeks, a senior medical official said here today.
The girl was raped on June 26 after being abducted from outside her school by two men. She suffered grievous injuries to her neck, face, head and private parts and was admitted to MY hospital in the capital on June 27.
"The girl is out of danger. Her condition is continuously improving," V S Pal, superintendent of the hospital, about 200 km away from Mandsaur, told reporters
"We have started giving her solid food. The girl is conscious and is talking to her parents," he added.
Pal said the victim's wounds were healing and she was likely to be discharged from the hospital in about two weeks.
The team of doctors from the hospital were being advised by two private paediatricians to ensure the best treatment for the minor, as directed by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, he said.
To the opposition Congress' demand that she be shifted to a speciality hospital in Mumbai or Delhi for better treatment, Pal said parents of the minor were satisfied with the medical care she was getting at the hospital and neither of them had demanded that she be shifted elsewhere.
Meanwhile, the two accused Irfan alias Bhaiyu (20) and Asif (24) were arrested in connection with the case and booked under relevant sections of the IPC and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
