Gurugram: 2 women domestic help, male accomplice arrested for sexually assaulting minor girl
Gurugram (PTI): The Gurugram police arrested two female domestic help and their male accomplice here for allegedly sexually assaulting a 3-year-old girl, police said on Saturday.
This development follows the Supreme Court's decision on Friday to hear a plea requesting a CBI or SIT investigation into the case.
According to the police, the minor girl was allegedly sexually assaulted between December 2025 and January 2026 at a residential society in Sector 54. The parents approached the police in February after the child disclosed the alleged assault to her mother.
Following a complaint by the child's parents, an FIR was registered under relevant Sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act at Sector 53 police station on February 4, officials said.
A senior advocate told the top court that police have done nothing despite the girl giving a statement to the magistrate detailing the horrific incident. The child recorded her statement before a magistrate, describing the entire incident in detail.
A three-judge bench, comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M. Pancholi, acknowledged an urgent request made by senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi and scheduled a hearing for Monday.
Following this, the Gurugram police arrested all three accused on Saturday.
The accused were identified as Sangeeta, a resident of Ghamuria village in Etah district, Uttar Pradesh; Pakila, from Bara Chandghar village in Nadia, West Bengal; and her husband, Kabir Mulla. All three are currently residents of the Ghata slum area of Gurugram and are between 30 and 32 years old.
At the time of FIR, preliminary investigation revealed that one of the domestic help had recently started working at the girl's home, while the other was employed in a neighbouring apartment. During this period, the male associate allegedly behaved inappropriately with the child.
"In this case, the police have arrested all three accused and further probe is underway", said Sandeep Kumar, spokesperson for Gurugram police.

Belagavi: An 81-year-old businessman from Belagavi was allegedly cheated of nearly Rs 15.45 crore in a digital arrest scam that continued for almost six weeks, The Hindu reported on Saturday.
The victim has been identified as Ajit Gopalkrishna Saraf. According to a complaint filed by his son, Saraf received a call on February 5 from a person claiming to be a CBI officer, who accused him of being involved in a financial scandal.
The caller, who identified himself as K. Siva Subramanyam, allegedly produced fake documents purportedly issued by the CBI and the RBI vigilance cell, and claimed that Saraf had dealings with Naresh Goyal of Jet Airways and was involved in money laundering.
In the following days, another person, posing as George Mathew from the RBI vigilance wing, joined the calls. They allegedly asked Saraf to provide details of his fixed deposits and stock market investments, and allegedly forced him to liquidate his FDs and investments held with Motilal Oswal.
Fearing arrest, Saraf reportedly did not inform his family and transferred all the money under his control to accounts specified by the fraudsters. Police said the victim had not come out of his room for days.
The fraud came to light only when his son visited him during the Ugadi holidays.
A case has been registered at the Belagavi Cyber, Economic and Narcotics (CEN) Police Station, and officials said the investigation is likely to be transferred to the CID.
