In a sharp rebuke, the Supreme Court of India on Wednesday pulled up the Gurugram Police over its handling of an alleged sexual assault case involving a four-year-old girl, questioning why disciplinary action should not be initiated against officials accused of shielding the perpetrators.

The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant along with Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi, expressed concern that authorities appeared to have made “all-out” efforts to shield the accused rather than support the victim, as per Live Law.

According to police reports, the child was allegedly abused over a two-month period by two female domestic workers and a male accomplice at a residential society in Sector 54, Gurugram.
