26. The incident of rape took place between 10:30 PM to 12:55 AM on 26.07.2009 and the matter was reported to the police somewhere between 12:00 to 01:00 on the same intervening night of 26/27 July, 2009. When the medical examination of the victim took place at 03:52 AM, she narrated about multiple rapes by the Appellant to the Doctor and in the afternoon of 27.07.2009 within 12 hours, or so she did not utter a word about the incident of rape. How come that is possible? The circumstances indicate that the victim was accompanied by police officials, and came into contact with none other than the hospital staff before her statement was recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. What happened within such a short span of time is bewildering?
