Police Register Case After Mentally Ill Woman is Sexually Assaulted in Kalaburagi

A mentally ill woman was reportedly sexually assaulted by an unknown person in Kalaburagi, a city in the Indian state of Karnataka. The woman, who is in her 30s, was found wandering by a passerby, who alerted the police. The police took her to a hospital, where she was examined and found to have been sexually assaulted.

The police have registered a case against an unknown person and are investigating the incident. The woman’s family members have expressed shock and outrage at the incident and have demanded that the perpetrator be brought to justice. They have also called for better protection for vulnerable individuals such as the mentally ill.

This incident highlights the vulnerability of mentally ill individuals and the need for greater awareness and protection for them. Mental illness is often stigmatized in India, and those suffering from it are often marginalized and neglected by society. This can lead to them being more vulnerable to abuse and violence.

In addition, sexual assault remains a pervasive issue in India, with incidents of rape and sexual assault being reported regularly. Many cases go unreported, and even when cases are registered, the conviction rate remains low.
