The Supreme Court on Wednesday (March 25, 2026) reprimanded the Haryana Police and its child welfare committee for their insensitive handling of a four-year-old’s rape case.
The Court was hearing the parents’ petition, in which they alleged inaction by the Gurugram police. The Court, on March 23, 2026, issued notices to the Haryana Government, its DGP and others on a plea seeking a CBI or SIT probe into the rape of a four-year-old girl in Gurugram.

“It is shameful that the Haryana Police summoned the rape survivor to the station instead of visiting her,” the Supreme Court observed on Wednesday (March 25), and constituted a three-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) comprising women IPS officers from the Haryana cadre to probe the rape case.
The Court also directed the Haryana government to expeditiously notify the SIT. It also instructed the Gurugram Police to hand over the case records by March 26, 2026.
