The Delhi High Court said it would pass an order on June 29 on whether to cancel the bail granted to the 57-year-old caretaker accused of raping a three-year-old girl inside a private school in west Delhi.
A Vacation Bench of Justice Vinod Kumar reserved its verdict on the petitions by the Delhi Police and the complainant against the trial court’s May 7 order releasing Lalit Kumar on bail in the case registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, appearing for the police, urged the court to cancel the bail, contending that it was not a case in which the trial court should have granted a reprieve to the main accused.
Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Delhi president Saurabh Bharadwaj alleged that Kumar’s son had threatened the rape survivor’s mother.
“A shocking incident has taken place. Today, at the Delhi High Court, the mother of a three-year-old rape survivor alleged that she was threatened by the accused’s son. The son of the 57-year-old accused threatened that she would face the same fate as her three-year-old daughter,” he said.
