New Delhi: A minor girl who was raped and tortured in Delhi died in a hospital here on Sunday. Following death of the 14-year-old girl, DCW Cheif lashed out at union government and Delhi police over women’s safety.
“How many Nirbhayas does Delhi want? We all simply wait for next Nirbhaya to die. The girl was fed a corrosive substance which completely destroyed her internal organs and she died a very painful death,” the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) Chairperson Swati Maliwal said on Twitter.
She added that it was only after the Commission issued notice to the DCP (North), the accused who was roaming free was arrested.
She asked the Centre to set up a high-level ministerial committee on women safety under the leadership of Home Minister Rajnath Singh.
“With parents of 14-year-old victim. V poor n inconsolable. How many Nirbhayas does Delhi want? We all simply wait for next Nirbhaya to die. To add insult to injury, Home Ministry scrapped Women Safety Sp Task Force in Delhi set up wen Nirbhaya died stating it’s mandate finished! She is dead ! We the system is responsible. Never felt so helpless. Need to do something. Come on people …(sic),” Maliwal said in a series of tweets.
Maliwal was alluding to the Centre’s recent decision to disband the Special Task Force on women’s safety in Delhi. It was established in 2013 in the aftermath of the brutal Nirbhaya gangrape.
