Pulling up Haryana Police and Gurugram’s Child Welfare Committee for “shameful’, “reckless” and “insensitive” approach in the shocking case of rape of a three-year-old, the Supreme Court on Wednesday constituted a special team of women IPS officers to conduct a fair probe into the crime.

‘The top court also directed the Gurugram district and sessions judge to assign the horrific case to the special POCSO court presided over by a woman judicial officer.

Coming down hard on the investigation carried out so far and the gross mishandling of the case, the top court said, “Shame on you! Is this the way the state deals with crime? The child has undergone more horrifying repeated experiences than the crime itself”
