Meanwhile, a team of UP policemen reached AIIMS to record the statement of the minor. "We have taken statement of almost all people related to this case except of the minor victim. The doctors at AIIMS have given us permission to record her statement," ADGP, Daljeet Chaudhary said.
She fears that Prajapati's men would come looking for her.
As the UP police hunts for all the accused persons, the girl is struggling to come to terms with what happened to her and her mother.
She has, however, not given up hope and wants to appear for her class X examination next year. "I couldn't take the exams this year....our lives were in a mess."
"After that we sought help from various quarters and even approached the state's DGP, but nothing happened even after that. Meanwhile, constant threat calls from Prajapati's men not to pursue the matter further became unbearable for us and we decided to leave UP to save our lives. My mother then approached court," she added.
According to the doctors at the AIIMS who are treating her, the girl is in a state of "severe trauma".
"She is living in constant fear. She is unable to sleep at night. Whatever has happened with her and her mother keeps coming back to her. We have put her on medication and she is undergoing behavioural therapy," they said.
They said teams of the UP police had visited the hospital a couple of times to speak to the girl but were denied permission.
49-year-old Prajapati, who was sacked by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav for alleged corruption before being reinstated at the behest of the then Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav, is said to be on the run.
Prajapati has been missing since February 27 and continues to evade authorities. The UP police remain clueless about his whereabouts and a massive hunt has been launched to arrest him.
The FIR was lodged against him and six accomplices under various sections of the IPC and The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act at Gautampalli police station by the order of the Supreme Court on February 18.
When her complaint went unheeded, she moved the Supreme Court.
Prajapati, who is contesting the state assembly election as an SP candidate from Amethi, where polls are over, has denied the allegation, terming it a "political conspiracy by the BJP". He has claimed he does not even know the victim.
