Rape, Acid Attack, Survivors, Victims To Have Free Medical Treatment: Delhi HC

December 24, 2024, 5:06 pm

Delhi High Court on Tuesday gave order that victims of rape, acid attacks, sexual assaults, and survivors of POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) cases are entitled to free medical treatment at government and private hospitals, as well as nursing homes.

A division bench comprising Justice Prathiba M. Singh and Justice Amit Sharma ruled that all Central and State Government-funded institutions, as well as private hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes, must comply with the directive to ensure that survivors of rape, acid attacks, and POCSO cases receive immediate medical care and necessary services.

The Court clarified that “treatment” includes first aid, diagnosis, inpatient care, outpatient follow-ups, diagnostic and laboratory tests, surgeries if needed, physical and mental counselling, psychological support, and family counselling.

The Court noted that a significant number of rape and POCSO cases regularly come before the judiciary. Survivors in these cases often require urgent medical intervention or prolonged medical assistance, including hospital admission, diagnostics, surgical procedures, medications, and counselling services.

Despite existing provisions under the BNSS or CrPC, as well as guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), the Court observed that survivors of sexual violence and acid attacks continue to face challenges in accessing free medical treatment.

The Court issued several key directives, including the circulation of its ruling to all courts dealing with sexual offences, such as POCSO Courts, Criminal Courts, and Family Courts.

The directive aims to ensure that all victims and survivors, in accordance with Section 397 of the BNS (Section 357C of the CrPC), are informed of their legal rights. The Court also mandated that appropriate steps be taken to refer such cases to the relevant medical establishments–whether public, government, or private–whenever courts encounter cases requiring medical assistance for victims or survivors.

‘Delhi Women’s Safety Not Election, But Public Concern,’ Says Saurabh Bhardwaj Slamming Amit Shah

December 16, 2024, 6:15 pm

Recently, the Delhi government, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has been targetting the the Bharatiya Janata Party for rising crimes in Delhi. On Monday, AAP leader Saurabh Bhardwaj criticised Union Home Minister Amit Shah over the deteriorating law and order situation in the national capital, stating that gangs and gangsters have become increasingly active, demanding ransom money for protection.

According to Bhardwaj this situation in Delhi is unprecedented. He remarked that nowadays, a woman cannot even walk in her own colony, and a person cannot park their vehicle outside their house without fearing theft.

The minister emphasised that this issue affects the public directly and that residents of Delhi expect an explanation from the Union Home Minister.

“Today in Delhi, a woman holding a phone in her hand cannot walk in her colony without fearing it will be snatched. A person cannot park their vehicle outside their house without worrying it will be stolen. Delhi has moved beyond petty crimes. Gangs and gangsters are now active, demanding ransom money for protection,” Bhardwaj said.

“This is unprecedented in Delhi. This is not an election issue but a public concern, and the people of Delhi demand answers from the Union Home Minister,” he added.

Earlier in the day, AAP leader Manish Sisodia also criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its handling of law and order in Delhi.

Sisodia noted that while Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had successfully addressed key issues such as schools, electricity, and hospitals, the law and order situation under Home Minister Amit Shah’s leadership had deteriorated.

“The people of Delhi entrusted Kejriwal ji with responsibilities such as improving schools, electricity, and hospitals. He delivered–government hospitals are better, there is a 24-hour power supply, zero electricity bills, and government schools are performing fantastically. On the other hand, the responsibility for law and order was given to Amit Shah and the BJP,” Sisodia said.

“But what has happened under his watch? Law and order have worsened–murders and shootouts are taking place. People feel that Amit Shah is unable to handle the situation,” he added.

Sisodia further claimed that the people of Delhi are increasingly frustrated with the BJP’s failure to address these issues. “In this election, the people are sending a warning to Amit Shah–either improve law and order, or they will know how to address it themselves,” he added.

November 23, 2024, 4:24 pm

In a tragic incident in northwest Delhi’s Ashok Vihar, a woman allegedly strangled her five-year-old daughter to death after the child became an obstacle in her desire to marry a man she befriended on Instagram. The shocking crime came to light on Friday when Deep Chand Bandhu Hospital informed the police about a child who had been brought dead to their facility. Upon closer inspection, authorities discovered strangulation marks on the child’s neck, leading to an immediate investigation.

During questioning, she revealed that after her first husband left her, she met a man named Rahul on Instagram. Determined to marry him, she moved to Delhi, but Rahul and his family rejected her child, refusing to accept the girl. Unable to cope with the rejection, the woman allegedly strangled her daughter in a fit of frustration.

Shocking Revelations of Abuse and Trauma

Further investigation revealed a history of abuse. The woman disclosed that before relocating to Delhi, she had been living with her child at a relative’s house in Himachal Pradesh, where her daughter had been sexually assaulted by the relative. These revelations have prompted the police to register multiple charges, including those under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The woman remains in police custody as the investigation continues.

A Similar Incident in Bihar

This tragic incident in Delhi mirrors a similar case that occurred in Bihar earlier this year. In August, a 26-year-old woman in Muzaffarpur allegedly murdered her three-year-old daughter to pave the way for her marriage to her lover. Inspired by a crime TV show, the woman slit her daughter’s throat and discarded the body in a field, where it was later found. The woman was arrested and charged, with her lover cleared of any involvement.

The Delhi case has sparked outrage, raising concerns over the safety of children and the psychological toll that domestic and emotional struggles can have on vulnerable individuals. Authorities are continuing to investigate both the mother’s act.

IT WAS A TASK TO FIND REALISTIC FACES WHO ARE GOOD ACTORS FOR ‘DELHI CRIME’: MUKESH CHHABRA

December 9, 2020, 4:27 am

Mumbai: Web series Delhi Crime, based on Delhi Nirbhaya case, has been awarded the International Emmy Award, making it the first Indian web series to win it. In an exclusive interview with The Daily Guardian, the ‘Dil Bechara’ director Mukesh Chhabra opened up about the struggle he had to face during its making and how elated he is on winning Emmy Award.

Did you ever think while casting for the series it would get nominated and bring home an international award?

Our main thought process, whenever we cast for anything, is that we need to give our 100% and put forward suitable actors for any role. I along with my casting team comprising Siddharth Malik and Robin Singh Rathore worked hard and gave our best. While starting any project we always aim for the best outcome. The Emmy was a cherry on the cake so to say. We knew that it was going to be a brilliant series. But I am always grateful and humbled when my work gets recognised.

Do you think more strict laws and punishments should be implemented when it comes to rapists?

I think it’s the need of the hour. Every person who cannot respect women needs to be severely punished.

Did you go through any hinders while looking for actors in ‘Delhi Crime’ as it is based on real-life?

Yes! since it was a real-life incident we had the added pressure to be sensitive while auditioning and also be true to the real people who went through this personally. It was also a task to find realistic faces who are also good actors. We searched in every nook and corner. Each actor had to be spot on. But I and my team took up the challenge.

Having been a casting director for several Hindi films, what is the first quality you see in any actor/actress?

I would say there’s no formula as such but I believe in my instinct and it has rarely disappointed me. Once I find an actor that looks the part, my half job is done.

Tell us about your upcoming projects?

I’m excited for ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, ‘83’, ‘Haathi Mere Saathi’, ‘Shaabaash’ and ‘Mithu’ to be out. Since some of them are real-life stories, I had a blast during the casting process. I have a great line up of upcoming projects and can’t wait for them to be announced.

Will we be seeing you wearing the director’s cap after ‘Dil Bechara’?

I am currently focusing on casting. When I will find the right script I’ll take it up.
