Dismiss Delhi Police officials for not acting to save 5 year old rape victim

The Issue

A 5-year-old girl was kidnapped and brutally raped for 4 days. However, the Delhi police refused to file a ‘Missing’ complaint when the parents went to the local police station. 

4 days later, the girl was discovered by neighbours and admitted to the hospital in a critical condition. A bottle and candles were found inserted into her vagina. She has sustained injuries on her cheeks, lips, neck, and chest.

Shockingly, the Delhi Police refused to file an FIR at this stage and allegedly offered to bribe the parents and advised them NOT to file a complaint.

The incident of the rape sparked protests outside the hospital during which Assistant Commissioner of Police BS Ahlwat slapped a girl protester which left her bleeding in an ear!

The Delhi police has not only repeatedly failed its citizens in doing its duty to stop violence against women, they continue to flagrantly violate the law. 

As a father of a little girl, and a resident of Delhi, and even more importantly, as an outraged citizen, I believe it is time this police impunity ended and they were made more responsible for their actions. 

I am calling upon the Home Minister of India, Sushil Kumar Shinde and the Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar to immediately dismiss and take strict action against all the policemen who denied to file the complaint, tried to bribe the victim’s father, and watched as the ACP slapped the peaceful protestor.
