On Friday, the Supreme Court of India summoned the Ghaziabad police commissioner to address the shocking case of a four-year-old girl who was allegedly raped and murdered. The bench, led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, expressed deep concern over the case's circumstances, stating that a court-monitored investigation by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) or central agency is urgently needed. The court criticized the local police and two private hospitals for their inadequate response, as both hospitals denied the victim admission after the incident. The court ordered the police to provide original reports and ensure the victim's family's identity remains confidential, as they have faced threats and harassment. The case, which occurred on March 16, 2026, involved the child's neighbor allegedly luring her with the promise of chocolate before the horrific events unfolded. The Supreme Court noted the trauma experienced by the victim's family and highlighted the failure to register appropriate charges under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The court's intervention aims to restore faith in the justice system amid growing concerns about the treatment of the victim's family by local authorities.
