Hyderabad: Siddipet MLA T Harish Rao has accused the Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), Hyderabad, of not providing free treatment to a 12-year-old girl who suffered critical injuries after she was raped and thrown off a building by a man in Khammam on June 6.
On Thursday, June 11, Rao met the family members of the minor girl. He alleged that in the current Congress rule, the number of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) cases has substantially increased.

Showing the medical bills, he alleged that the parents of the girl were asked to purchase medicines from a pharmacy located outside the hospital’s premises, which cost thousands of rupees. “Why is the hospital not providing the medicines? Why are the doctors delaying her surgery?” he thundered.
He demanded that a fast-track court be setup to punish the culprit and do justice to the victim. He also demanded the state government to release Rs 10 lakh as immediate relief for the victim’s family.
NIMS Director issues clarification
The NIMS administration clarified that the victim was receiving free treatment and was stable as of Thursday, after she was admitted at midnight on June 8.
