PERILS OF BLIND FAITH AND UNSTINTING TRUST.........

More than 90% of all reported rapes are perpetrated by either a family member of the rape survivor or then somebody known to her and the following incident more than proves/reinforces this surmise.........
 27 year old Parmal Burman was arrested from his modest dwelling by the Jaipur police in the wee hours of Monday morning on the heinous charges of repeatedly raping his 14 year old niece when she was all by herself in his supposedly august(???) company......
 According to police sources; the 14 year old doughty survivor and her parents (who are originally from West Bengal) had been residing in a modest dwelling in the city's Gandhi Nagar area for the last four years or so and the minor was a class IX student in a city school........
 Her parents had to rush to their native place in West Bengal owing to a family emergency almost a month or so ago and left her in the seemingly safe(????) custody of her accused maternal uncle (a long term resident of the city's Narayan Singh circle area) as they did not want her studies to suffer in their absence........ Thoroughly oblivious of her maternal uncle's devious ways and demonic carnal tendencies; the all to gullible and naive 14 year old firmly ensconced herself in the servant's quarters occupied by her uncle (who was gainfully employed in a prominent restaurant in the city) little knowing the inhuman fate that was about to befall her.........
 Having satisfactorily dealt with the abrupt family emergency; the 14 year old minor's parents returned to Jaipur early on Sunday morning and couldn't believe their ears when their darling daughter narrated the tale of woes that had befallen her in their absence.........
They somehow managed to keep their wits about them and register a complaint against the survivor's accused maternal uncle in a neighbouring police station on the very same morning following which the senior inspector recorded the 14 year old's statement and sent her for tests to a government hospital.........
 The tests carried out at the government hospital on the minor conclusively established the repeated occurrence of rape and the police swung into action and apprehended the alleged assailant from the now infamous servant's quarters early on Monday morning once the charges levelled against him by the 14 year old were backed by medical evidence...........
Cases have since been registered against the accused under section 376 of the Indian Penal Code (rape) and relevant sections of the POCSO act and he is currently cooling both his heels and ardour in police custody.........
 Sad to say; the day is not far off when all families will start looking at each of their fellow members with suspicion and doubt if this current spurt in rapes within the family ranks is not arrested forthwith........
