Police said the incident took place on January 18 and involved three minors aged 10, 13 and 14. While two of the accused boys have been taken into custody, the third minor and his family are currently absconding, prompting authorities to launch a search operation as the investigation continues.
Reacting to the news, Bhumi said, “What is going on. We clearly are failing cause we haven’t, till now been unable to instill fear into these monsters who think the can get away with sexual violence. Breaks my heart to see under age boys go through with something so heinous. Imagine the environments they are growing up in. We are punishing the voiceless in our country, and have sensationalised, dogs being a threat! What about the fact, that a 6 year old isn’t safe on our streets and actually no child is, cause in this case the perpetrators are also the victims.”

Delhi Rape Horror
A six-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped by three boys aged 10, 13 and 14 in northeast Delhi’s Bhajanpura area on January 18, police said on Tuesday. Two of the accused minors have been apprehended, while the third boy and his family are currently missing. Officials said the child is now stable and recovering at home.
The girl lives with her parents and three siblings, and her family reported the incident to the police soon after discovering what had happened. According to her mother, the child returned home around 7 pm that day in a critical condition and initially claimed she had fallen. “She was unconscious. I poured water on her face to wake her up. When I asked what happened, she said she fell,” the mother told Hindustan Times, adding that a neighbouring boy repeated the same version.
However, after repeated questioning, the child revealed that a 13-year-old neighbour and two other boys lured her with the promise of food. “My husband had dropped her at the entrance of our lane after buying candy. The boys caught her there and offered chowmein. They took her to a nearby empty two-storey building, tied her hands, and gagged her mouth,” the mother said.
