New Delhi: The family of a four-year-old girl allegedly abducted and raped in the Bhalswa dairy area of Delhi has alleged police inaction even as the Delhi Women's Commission has issued a notice to the Delhi police in the case. The relatives of the girl on Friday blocked the main road in Bhalswa in protest against the local police for failing to arrest the accused.
The protesting family members also blocked the outer ring road due to which many vehicles were stranded for hours. Police used mild force to disperse the protesters to clear the traffic. A police officer said that a probe into the case is on. He said they are examining the CCTV footage of the spot and the accused will be arrested soon.
