‘I Would Have Raised My Child’: Heartbreaking Audio of Alleged Forced Abortion Released

Thiruvananthapuram: In the audio released by media, a young woman alleges that Congress MLA Rahul Mamkoottathil forced her to undergo an abortion. She recounts severe mental and physical trauma, heavy bleeding, and says the doctor asked if those who gave her the abortion tablet were trying to kill her.

The full audio of the young woman follows:

I can go anywhere, I’m looking for a transfer. I’ll ask around. I’m not staying here. I would have gone somewhere else, raised my child, and lived my life.

I don’t know, I really don’t know. Without me even realising, my baby gone to soon from my life…

I can’t bear this sadness.

Not even a little.

My heart is breaking.

How many days has it been.

After all these days, do you think I’m able to recover?

Mentally and physically, I’ve been shattered into pieces.

Is there anything left now? I’m not at all okay…

I don’t even have people around me who can give me emotional support. Even you…

Even I didn’t want that.

Tell me.

My right was taken away. My right was denied.

I wouldn’t have troubled anyone. He is worried about his political future.

Political future… what would I destroy? Or that bringing the child would destroy it? Would I… would I do something like that?

I had said, you can go…

Let’s fix it (another voice)

If I had waited a few more days, I wouldn’t have lost that baby.

How long has it been since this happened.

Back then, during the Nilambur election… I still remember it clearly. The day Rahul travelled from Bangalore to Nilambur, on the very morning he reached Nilambur, that was the day I took the first tablet, even after doing a video call and everything.

I took it.

After taking that, the next day… the second one…

You take it two days later, don’t you remember? Something… I can’t even say it properly.

Bleeding, bleeding, bleeding…

How many days it took for it to stop. The doctor scolded me. Who gave this to you? Were they trying to kill you?

Without a prescription, without even doing a scan, when you were in such a delicate condition, who gave this to you…

Honestly, it would’ve been better if I had died then. I shouldn’t have lived. If I had waited just a few more days…
