Delhi Police Face Show-Cause Notices Over Delay in Rescuing 15-Year-Old Girl
A 15-year-old girl from Saharanpur was rescued in Delhi after being lured by a man, but police delayed her rescue by nearly seven hours due to jurisdictional disputes among Kashmere Gate, Kashmere Gate Metro, and ISBT police stations. The Delhi Child Welfare Committee issued show-cause notices to the involved officers and criticized the handling of the case, citing harassment and trauma to the girl. The officers have been asked to provide explanations and action reports by August 19.
