Punjab and Haryana High Court Denies Bail to Three Juveniles in Sexual Assault CasePreviousNext

The Punjab and Haryana High Court denied bail to three juveniles accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting a visually impaired and specially abled minor girl in Karnal, Haryana. The victim identified the accused by their voices despite being unable to name them. The case emerged after a complaint by the Karnal Child Welfare Committee chairman, who found the pregnant girl eating soil. The court upheld earlier orders, citing the seriousness of the allegations and the victim's condition, and rejected bail petitions to ensure justice.
