New Delhi, March 20 The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear a plea seeking a CBI or SIT investigation into the rape of a 4-year-old girl in Gurugram.
A three-judge bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi took note of an urgent mention by senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi and posted the matter for hearing on Monday.
The senior advocate told the top court that police have done nothing despite the girl giving a statement to the magistrate detailing the horrific incident.
"No arrest has been made. The site has not been secured. No CCTV footage has been taken. The household maids are involved," Rohatgi submitted.
The CJI initially asked the petitioners to move the High Court. However, the senior lawyer said the concerned High Court will be Chandigarh and the father is employed in Gurugram, and argued that a "message should go from the highest court of the country" in this "horrific case."
