Ujjain rape: House of man accused of raping 12-yr-old girl to be demolished

The house of the man accused of raping a 12-year-old girl in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain will reportedly be demolished on October 4.

According to NDTV, the Ujjain Municipal Corporation said that the accused Bharat Soni's family has been living in a house built illegally on government land for years.

Municipal Commissioner Roshan Singh said since the land belongs to the government, no notice is required to be served before its demolition.

The accused, an autorickshaw driver is currently in jail awaiting trial.

A video of the incident showed the victim roaming the streets seeking help but was shooed away by locals.

The father of the accused has said that his son should be hanged.

“It is a shameful act. Neither have I gone to the hospital to meet him, no will I go to the police station or courts. My son has committed a crime, therefore he should be hanged,” the accused Bharat Soni's father told reporters.
