Supreme Court Takes Suo Motu Cognisance of Delhi-NCR Sexual Assault Cases, Cites Law Enforcement Failures
The Supreme Court of India has taken suo motu cognisance of multiple recent sexual assault cases involving minors and women in the Delhi-NCR region, including the gang-rape of a minor on a moving bus and an attack in Aastha Kunj Park. The court highlighted systemic failures in law enforcement and public administration, citing inadequate lighting, poor surveillance, and lack of patrolling in public spaces. Drawing parallels with the 2012 Nirbhaya case, the bench emphasized the need for accountability and concrete measures to ensure public safety.
