The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) on Thursday asked the Delhi Police to submit a complete report by August 14 on the action taken on a rape complaint by three girls studying in a Delhi Government school.
In her letter to the police, Maliwal outlined the horrifying details of the case.
The girls, aged 15, 15 and 14, had gone to the New Delhi Railway Station to travel to Mumbai on July 6 when an unidentified man, who offered to buy them train tickets, took them to a room in northwest Delhi’s Rohini and raped them. The girls eventually escaped when the man was trying to take them somewhere and called their families. The DCW has sought the FIR copy and details of the accused from the police and asked the police whether the minors had been produced before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC).
The Commission also asked for copies of all CWC orders, reports of action taken and steps taken by the Delhi Police and Railway Protection Force by August 14, in the light of similar incidents.
The three schoolgirls, the letter said, made a plan to go to Mumbai together and at the Railway Station on July 6 they met a stranger, who offered to book their tickets and took them to his room in Rohini.
There were two women also in the house, who gave the girls a drink laced with intoxicants.
After that, the accused man raped all three of the minor girls. Next day, when the girls begged him to send them to Mumbai, he told them that he will take them to Rajasthan and get them married to some man.
He then took them to Kashmere Gate, but the girls managed to escape en route and contact their families. They were then taken to Defence Colony police station,” the letter said. The three survivors approached DCW on Wednesday for help.
Apart from seeking complete details about the police action in this case, Maliwal also asked the Delhi police and the railway protection force (RPF) to suggest steps to ensure the safety and security of girls and women in and around railway stations, considering multiple instances of rape and sexual assault in the recent past.
Asked about the letter and the action taken by the police, deputy commissioner of police (south) Benita Mary Jaiker said that it is a communication between DCW and police. “Media has nothing to do with that,” she said.
