Delhi: 12-yr-old raped, in critical condition; Kejriwal meets victim's family

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal met the family of a minor girl allegedly raped and grievously injured.

The crime reportedly took place in the national capital's Peeragarhi area on August 4.

The girl is admitted to AIIMS, Delhi.

After meeting the victim's family, Kejriwal briefed the media about her condition.

He said that she is critical, with doctors saying that it would take another 24-48 hours to confirm whether she's out of danger.

Kejriwal said that he had spoken to the Delhi Police Commissioner and hoped that the culprits would be arrested soon.

The Delhi Police reports to the Union government's Home ministry, not the state government.

Meanwhile, Delhi Commission for Women chief Swati Maliwal also met the victim's family.

She said that a team would be stationed with the family 24x7 to provide any assistance required.

She also said that DCW had issued a notice to Delhi police as no arrests had taken place so far.
