New Delhi: Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia on Saturday paid a visit to the family members of the seven-year-old girl raped in Madhya Pradesh’s Mandsaur. He also led a candle march protesting against the barbarism and said that Madhya Pradesh has gradually turned into a "rape capital". The girl is being treated at MY hospital in Indore.

आज इंदौर एमवाय अस्पताल में मंदसौर की पीड़िता से मिलने के बाद मन बहुत आहत है। मैंने पीड़िता के परिवार को भरोसा दिलाया कि जब तक अपराधी को कड़ी से कड़ी सज़ा नही मिलती, हम नही रुकेंगे।
