A case has been filed but no arrests made till now as the police probe further.
A 17-year-old boy was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences Trauma Centre on Friday after being beaten up and stabbed by three boys in the capital’s Kalkaji area. He was attacked for objecting to the three accused following his sister and passing indecent remarks. Five persons were arrested over the incident. The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) has taken suo moto cognisance in the case, issuing a notice to the Station House Officer (SHO) of the area, ANI reported.
“Reportedly, the girl has alleged that when she approached the police to lodge the complaint, the police officials refused to take any action. This is a very serious matter. The Delhi Commission for Women Act, 1994 mandates the Commission to investigate and examine all matters relating to the safeguards provided for women under the Constitution and give recommendations to the government on the issue of women”s safety,” said the DCW’s notice.
