Delhi Police has launched investigations into two separate allegations of sexual assault involving minor girls, one each from the Swaroop Nagar and Narela areas in the national capital. The crimes have drawn significant public attention and concern, prompting the Delhi Police to take swift action in arresting the accused in both cases.
In the Swaroop Nagar incident, authorities received a complaint alleging that a minor girl was sexually assaulted. Police officials confirmed that the accused individual has been taken into custody and that the investigation is actively proceeding. Investigators are probing whether the girl was abducted prior to the alleged assault, as well as examining claims that footage of the incident may have been recorded illegally. These aspects are being treated as serious aggravating factors under relevant sections of Indian law.
Similarly, in the Narela area, a second case has been registered involving the alleged sexual assault of another minor girl. Delhi Police has arrested the suspect in this case as well. Law enforcement sources stated that probes are underway to determine whether abduction was involved and whether any recordings related to the incident exist.
Both cases have triggered heightened scrutiny of child safety in public spaces across Delhi. Senior police officials have directed their teams to expedite the investigations and ensure justice for the victims. Legal provisions including the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012, are being invoked in both cases, which carry stringent penalties for offences against minors.
Child rights advocates and civic groups have echoed calls for stronger measures to protect children from violence and exploitation. Police have urged anyone with information related to either case to come forward and cooperate with the ongoing investigations.
