The Supreme Court has come down heavily on the Gurugram Police over their handling of a 4-year-old girl's rape case, alleging that they made all-out efforts to protect the accused.
A four-year-old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted by two female domestic helps along with their male accomplice for approximately two months in a society in Sector 54, according to PTI news agency.
The Supreme Court was hearing the case and expressed its doubts over the academic or professional qualifications of the police officials involved in the case.
The top court directed the Haryana government to expeditiously notify the Special Investigation Team (SIT) and asked Gurugram Police to hand over case records by Thursday.
CJI Surya Kant tore into the officials, saying, 'You're disbelieving a 4 yr child going on CCTV! Shame on them! If state has any respect for law, they will transfer them!'
The CJI also expressed his disappointment over the way the family and child were harassed during the investigation, saying that the child went through a horrifying experience after the incident.
The Supreme Court constituted a three-member SIT comprising Haryana cadre women IPS officers to probe the case.
