New Delhi, Oct 26 (PTI) Delhi Commission For Women Chief Swati Maliwal on Tuesday wrote to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, asking to direct police to add sections of rape in the case of a minor girl, who was allegedly sexually assaulted by her neighbour in Bulandshahr.
Noting that the minor girl is currently admitted at a hospital in Delhi, Maliwal urged Adityanath to provide compensation to the victim’s family and ensure that the trial of the case takes place in a fast track court.
The girl is being treated at a hospital in Delhi.
Maliwal said the girl was brutally raped by a man in Bulandshahar, who inflicted several injuries on her and tried to strangulate her.
"I visited her in the hospital and she is in a very critical condition," Maliwal wrote in the letter.
The incident took place on October 15, when the victim’s parents had gone to work in the field and the girl was playing outside her home along with her two sisters.
