June 11, 2019:
Delhi Commission for Women chief Swati Maliwal has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding death sentence for those who killed a toddler in Aligarh's Tappal township.
In her letter, Maliwal rued that after promulgating an ordinance that introduced death penalty for rape of girls aged 12 or below, "no new steps" were taken to prevent incidents of sexual assaults on minor girls despite promises by the government.
The body of the girl was found in a garbage dump on June 2, three days after she went missing.
Her father alleged that she was killed because he could not repay a Rs 10,000 loan of the accused. According to police, four people have been arrested in the case so far.
