SIT Completes Gurugram Child Rape Probe, Supreme Court to Examine Hospital Negligence

The Supreme Court has directed the filing of a chargesheet after the Special Investigation Team (SIT) completed its probe into the rape of a four-year-old girl in Gurugram.

Previously, a bench led by CJI Surya Kant had lambasted the Haryana police for attempting to protect the accused by registering lesser charges.

Today, the Court shifted its focus toward the negligence and potential complicity of government hospital doctors and the insensitive conduct of the Child Welfare Committee (CWC).

The bench emphasized it would formally examine these systemic failures alongside victim compensation, ensuring that the "insensitive, reckless, and unlawful" methods of investigation initially adopted by local police are addressed through disciplinary action.
