The raped of a mentally and physically challenged 17-year-old minor girl has been reported<\/a> from Malappuram, Kerala. What is worse, the minor was brutally raped and then threatened in front of her bed-ridden mother. The accused, Shihab alias Muttalan Shihab has a history of violence. He is currently in police custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media reports confirmed that Shihab threatened witnesses and they now fear his coming out on bail. The rapist who has a history of violence and police cases threatened a neighbor of the victim with dire consequences. That neighbor was the one who stood up and informed the police about the rape that Shihab had committed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This prompted the victim and her mother to fear for their own life and they approached the media. Though the incident proved to be the most horrible of atrocities against the weakest of the weak, the mainstream media shunned the incident (until the victims themselves reached out) and no live talk shows were produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victim and her mother live in a run-down house near Areekode in Malappuram district. The victim\u2019s mother suffers from serious health issues and the mentally and physically challenged daughter is the only one in the house to help. She has to help her mother to even reach the washroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is with horror that the victim narrated what happened that night, things that she does not want to remember in her life. She said she locked the door and they went to bed. At 2 in the morning, Shihab kicked open the front door and entered the room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The young girl felt fear and trembled when she saw Shihab\u2019s silhouette. She got up and shouted out to her mother but all that the lady could do was watch. Shihab tried to choke her and covered her mouth and nose. She gasped for breath and Shihab thought she was dead. As he loosened his grip, the young girl escaped from his clutches and ran outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shihab chased her down and brutally beat her till she had wounds all over her body. The victim said that she begged him not to ruin her life but he showed no mercy. He dragged her inside and raped her even as the mother watched. Despite knowing that her daughter was being abused nearby, the exhausted mother could only cry helplessly. He threatened to kill them if they informed anyone about the rape and assault.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
