Tortured child's condition worsens
The condition of Sonia, the nine-year-old housemaid who was tortured severely days ago, deteriorated yesterday, said Rajshahi Medical College Hospital (RMCH) sources.
Sonia was admitted to RMCH's One Stop Crisis Center (OCC) on Wednesday night, as she was traumatised following torture by her employer in Rajshahi Cantonment.
OCC in-charge Dr Gopen Achariya said, “Sonia became disoriented as she was tortured very seriously. She is always frightened in human presence at her room.”
“It is not time to tell she is out of danger. She will take time to recover.” Medical tests found Sonia's left hand broken and several bruises over the body, he said.
On February 12, Sonia's employer, wife of an army officer, beaten her up, poured hot water on her, and kept her confined in a bathroom for three days in the cantonment house. Sonia's family sources said her parents are under pressure for not taking any legal action or filing any case against the army officer's wife.
