Village Dari has 200 families that constitute 8000 villagers.  Although there are Bheels, Choudhary, Dholi, Raiyaka, Bhat, Banwari and Meghwal communities but Rajputs and Meenas are dominant there.  Dhanki is just an eight years old girl. Her father has been working as daily wages laborer and makes coal in the village. Dhanki used to go to the woods in the village to graze cattle. At the day of incident, she was in wood and grazing her cattle there. In the meantime, the accused namely Shesha Ram came there and clutched innocent Dhanki in his arms and brutally raped her. After raping Dhanki, Shesha Ram ran away from there and left Danki with oozing blood from her internal parts.

Dhanki became unconscious and got so many injuries on her body. When Dhanki did not turn home till late night, her uncle and her family started searching for her and at last they found her unconscious in woods. They took her to the Pali Hospital but due to grievous injuries and serious condition, the doctor of Pali hospital recommended her to Jodhpur hospital. She had been hospitalized for one month because her vagina was torn. Next day on September 22^nd, 2007 her uncle Bhaka Ram went to the Police Station at Guda Andela and lodged FIR against the accused. The local police registered his FIR 117/07 under section 376(2) (f) Indian Penal Code. The accused was arrested next day of FIR and sent to Police Custody.

In every criminal case police plays a vital role, they can either make a true case to be false or vice- versa. In this case, the role of Police is quite appreciable and admirable. On September 22^nd 2007, the Local police registered the FIR, arrested the accused and started investigation. They filed challan within 17 days from the date of registration of FIR against the accused.

There is nothing to mention in favor of Administration as it can be seen from the facts that Dhanki’s family is very poor and unable to manage medical expenses incurred in the treatment of Dhanki. Many times Dhanki’s father went to meet the collector for some pecuniary relief but not even a single penny has been given to him for the sake of justice.

The medical examination of Dhanki took place on September 22^nd 2007. The report which was presented by the Doctor did not clearly admit the possibility of Rape. It mentioned that little finger was not entering the vaginaand wound is present right in center of vagina; another wound is at the posterior vaginal wall in connection with the external wound.

The role of Judiciary was quite appreciable because the challan had been submitted on October 9^th, 2007 and decided on February 14, 2008. The accused has been prosecuted under section 376 (2) (f) IPC and was sentenced life imprisonment with a fine of Rs. 1000. 

After this incident, the poor innocent girl Dhanki came into trauma. She even stopped going out of her home and talking to anyone at all.  She is living with her parents but her parents think that this incident has spoiled her whole life and they will not be able to get a boy for her marriage. Daily expenses to attend court proceedings were very expensive for her parents and to go to the court, they had to compromise with their daily work also.

This incident brought problems to Dhanki as she is a minor of 8 years, she was hospitalized for around a month and her treatment is still going on but as her parents are very poor and unable to nourish her she is not well and under trauma.  In this case, Dhanki has been awarded justice. The accused has been prosecuted under section 376 (2) (f) IPC and was sentenced life imprisonment with a fine of Rs. 1000 on February 14, 2008.
