Three minors held over 6-year-old's rape in Delhi's Bhajanpura
Three minors aged 13-15 were arrested in Bhajanpura, Delhi, for allegedly raping a six-year-old girl; initial police response drew criticism as action followed under pressure.
In Bhajanpura, Delhi, police say three minor boys aged 13, 14, and 15 were arrested in connection with the alleged rape of a six-year-old girl on January 18. The survivor's mother said police initially did not help, but action was taken after pressure from the family. The girl was taken to a hospital after a medical check, and the family is awaiting further investigation details.
The father of the survivor said a political figure stepped in to assist with medical treatment and assured the family that the culprits would face harsh punishment. The figure later met the family and publicly stated that every effort would be made to ensure strict accountability in the case.
Authorities say the investigation is ongoing and more details are expected as officers continue to gather evidence and question those involved. The case has reignited concerns about child safety and the need for timely responses in sexual assault cases.
Community leaders and advocates are calling for robust protections for children and transparent handling of the investigation to ensure justice for the survivor and support for the family.
