Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal visited the AIIMS on Thursday to enquire about the health conditions of a 12-year-old girl, who was allegedly sexually assaulted, and said his Government will provide a financial compensation of Rs 10 lakh to her family.

The girl is stable after surgery, says AIIMS doctor.

Earlier, in a tweet, the Chief Minister said the incident has shaken him to the core, adding that such criminals roaming free cannot be tolerated. Talking to reporters after his visit to the AIIMS, Kejriwal said the condition of the girl is serious, adding that he spoke to Police Commissioner S N Srivastava, who told him that the police are trying to nab the accused.

He said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government will ensure strict punishment for the accused by engaging the best lawyers in the case.
