NEW DELHI: As Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said his government will order a magisterial probe into the alleged rape and murder of a nine-year-old Dalit girl in Southwest Delhi’s Old Nangal area and announced a compensation of Rs 10 lakh to the family of the child, the Central government’s National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) wrote to the Delhi Police seeking criminal charges against senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for posting a picture of him consoling the parents — their complaint — the picture identifies the parents, thus identifying the child, which is illegal.
Significantly, the Delhi Commission for Women had before this already initiated an inquiry and sought a report from the Delhi Police regarding the probe so far. More than a day later, the NCPCR took cognizance of the case and wrote to Delhi Police about the case but they also decided to seek an FIR against the former Congress chief.
The Congress on Wednesday demanded a fast-track probe in the case and death penalty for the culprits, one of whom is a priest, who worked at the crematorium, where the girl was cremated without the parents’ consent.
Moreover, with reports suggesting that the Delhi Police had not registered a case immediately, the party also sought a probe against the police, after Rahul Gandhi met with the victim’s family on Wednesday morning.
