A distressing case of alleged sexual assault involving a three-year-old girl has been registered in Gurgaon’s Sector 54, as reported by the Times of India. The accused are reported to be two female domestic helps along with a male accomplice.
According to the TOI report, the Gurgaon police registered a case at the Sector 53 police station on Wednesday.
FIR Registered

Additionally, Section 65(2) of the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which pertains to rape of a woman under 12 years of age, has been invoked.
The alleged crime, as detailed in the TOI report, is said to have occurred last month. The parents approached the police only after the child reportedly described the ordeal to her mother.
