Aruna Shanbag's assailant traced in UP village: Media report
Mumbai, May 30 (IBNS) A Marathi newspaper has claimed to have traced Aruna Shanbaug's assailant Sohanlal Valkmiki to an Uttar Pradesh village.
According to the report published on Friday, the assailant, Valmiki, reportedly works in Parpa village of Ghaziabad in western Uttar Pradesh as a labourer.
Valmiki was never charged for rape, as he had sodomised Shanbaug, a nurse in Mumbai's King Edward Memorial Hospital who died on May 18 after remaining in coma for 42 years.
Valmiki served seven years in prison on assault and theft charges, and disappeared on release.
The incident happened on November 27, 1973. Valmiki, then working as a ward boy at the hospital attacked Aruna and sodomised her in the hospital basement.
The attack left her cortically blind, which meant that she could see, but her brain did not register the sight.
