Condemning the "ghastly" incidents of gangrape of two minor girls here, the DCW chairperson today complained of "major shortcomings in the law and order" situation in Delhi and said that the state government, Centre and the Lt Governor should work together to address the same.
"I don't get this, what is going on in Delhi, what sort of ghastly people are these? I have met the victim, the two-and-a -half-year old, at Sanjay Gandhi Memorial hospital. She has bruises all over her body, and she was left bleeding in the park.
"There are major shortcomings in the law and order situation in the national capital. The Centre and the Delhi government as well as the LG should work together to find a solution to it," said Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief Swati Maliwal.
Two minor girls -- one two-and-a-half-years-old, the other aged five -- were brutally gangraped in the city with the alleged crimes coming close on the heels of the rape of a four -year-old girl in northwest Delhi last week.
"I know what is happening is not right and needs to be corrected, I will reach out wherever I can against such crimes. We do not want another Nirbhaya in Delhi," Maliwal sid.
