On 17th June, 8 year old Dalit girl from a village named Pilibanga under Hanumangarh District in Rajasthan went along with her brother to clean out trash in a particular spot. At that time a Sharma (Brahmin) boy came and told both brother and sister to come with him and clean his shop for him in exchange for fifty rupees. When they went to his shop, the boy called other goons who covered the girl\\\'s mouth. The boy then threatened her to not shout for help and took her to the fields where she was raped. Her brother (uncle\\\'s son) was then beaten up. It\\\'s been a month since this incident and the girl is still unable to walk or sit properly. But on the day of the incident she mustered the courage to go towards a toll booth 10 kilometers away and inform the officials to tell the police that she was raped. The incident was so horrific that the girl needed 17 stitches in her privates and there are still choke marks on her neck.
