A Delhi court criticised the police for failing to file key reports in the rape case of a four-year-old girl who suffered severe injuries. The court ordered immediate Rs 5 lakh interim compensation, calling the child’s suffering “beyond imagination.”
During a hearing related to the 2020 northeast Delhi riots, the court received a distressing letter from the DLSA Secretary, promptly forwarding it to the DCP for urgent action. The court had previously expressed disappointment over delays in preparing the victim impact report and issued reminders. Specific procedures are in place for preparing these reports, and the court is taking proactive measures to ensure timely submission. The matter will proceed on April 20.
