Shocking: Bombay HC orders Mumbai Police to trace rape victim left on railway platform

India Today  

Expressing shock over an incident in which a minor, who was allegedly raped, was left on a railway platform, the Bombay High Court ordered the Mumbai Police to trace the girl and shift her to a rehabilitation centre. Particularly, when the girl is a minor, the assistance of the Juvenile Justice Board should have been taken, but nothing has been done,” said Justice Bharti Dangre. Justice Bharti Dangre also observed that the investigating officer did not get an ossification test done of the girl to determine her age. “Since the investigating officer is present in the court, it is expected that at least now some corrective steps will be taken to trace the victim girl and take necessary steps.
