Delhi Shocker: 6-Year-Old Girl Gang-Raped By Minor Boys

New Delhi: A shocking case of barbarity has surfaced from the national capital where a six-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped by minor boys, aged 13, 14 and 15. The accused, all of whom lived in the same locality, have been detained by the police.

The incident took place in northeast Delhi's Bhajanpura, following which police registered a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

According to investigators, the boys allegedly lured the girl with food and took her to an empty building, where they tied her hands, gagged her mouth and gang-raped her. After committing the heinous crime, the boys threatened the girl against telling anyone about the incident.

Following the incident, the mother of the girl saw her bleeding heavily as she returned home. As her family learnt of the barbarity that had taken place with the child, they alerted the police, following which the accused were arrested.

The accused have been produced before the Juvenile Justice Board. As per reports, one of the boy's mother herself handed over her son to the police after learning about the condition of the girl. The survivor was sent for a medical examination and was also given counselling. She is now said to be in a stable condition. Her father, who is a rickshaw-puller, has demanded strict punishment for the accused.

Further investigation into the matter is underway. The police are also checking the CCTV footage of the area.

The incident has sparked rage across the nation. Actress Bhumi Pednekar also spoke on the issue, saying, “What is going on We clearly are failing cause we haven't, till now been unable to instill fear into these monsters who think the can get away with sexual violence.”

She added, “Breaks my heart to see under age boys go through with something so heinous. Imagine the environments they are growing up in. We are punishing the voiceless in our country, and have sensationalised dogs being a threat! What about the fact, that a 6 year old isn't safe on our streets and actually no child is, cause in this case the perpetrators are also the victims. Wake up India.”
