Maliwal gave her statement after she met the minor being treated at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), where she is battling for her life.
“The 12-year-old girl of Paschim Vihar, Delhi has been brutally raped. The accused tried to kill her. Her stomach has been severely damaged, she has suffered multiple fractures on her head, she has bite marks all over her body. The minor has been so brutally beaten up that there is not a single body part which has not been hurt. Her condition is critical. Doctors are not sure whether the girl will survive or not,” Maliwal said, after her visit to AIIMS, Delhi, where she also met the parents of the victim and assured all possible help.
