Bihar rape victim made to wait hours in ambulance dies

An 11-year-old Dalit girl from Muzaffarpur, brutally raped and stabbed, died at Patna Medical College Hospital (PMCH) after being kept in an ambulance for over four hours without admission. The child, who had sustained multiple stab wounds, was initially referred to PMCH from SKMCH as her condition deteriorated, but her uncle alleged negligence, stating that she was asked to pay for an oxygen cylinder. This incident, part of a troubling trend in Muzaffarpur, has sparked protests from the Congress party, criticizing the government for inadequate hospital care.
