The Supreme Court has agreed to hear on Monday a petition seeking an independent, court-monitored probe into the rape of a four-year-old at a condominium in Gurugram, allegedly involving two housemaids and their male associates.

The case was mentioned before Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant on Friday by senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, who requested an urgent hearing.

“It is a horrific sexual assault on a four-year-old girl in Gurugram a month ago where the maid is involved. The child has recounted everything and the case has been sent to the magistrate under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act, but to date, the Gurugram police have neither collected CCTV footage nor arrested a single person.”

The CJI said, “We will list it on Monday,” before asking Rohatgi if he had approached the high court in the matter.
