The one-stop help centre for survivors of sexual violence at Sion Hospital has failed to keep itself abreast of the changes in law. On Wednesday evening, it turned away a girl, aged over 3, who was bleeding from her private parts when it realised that no FIR had been filed in the case. The child’s parents and accompanying constables from the Shivaji Nagar police station sought treatment for over three hours, but they eventually returned home dejected with the bleeding girl.
