NEW DELHI: Three persons were arrested and two juveniles detained for allegedly stabbing a 17-year-old schoolboy who tried to stop them from stalking his 18-year-old sister and passing lewd comments at her outside a government school in southeast Delhi’s Kalkaji on Friday afternoon. The boy is currently undergoing treatment at the AIIMS Trauma Centre and the family said his condition is critical.

The sister has also alleged that the police who reached the spot shouted at her and questioned her claims when she tried to tell them of what had transpired.

Police said a case of attempt to murder, stalking and sexual harassment was registered at the Kalkaji police station against the five suspects.

The incident that happened outside a school attracted sharp criticism from politicians, including chief minister Arvind Kejriwal.

“Deeply concerned by the murder of a 8-yr old girl in Khichdipur & attack on a 17-yr old boy in Kalkaji. Delhi’s law and order situation is in a serious turmoil, I appeal to Hon’ble Home Minister & Lt. Gov to take appropriate action to address the situation.(sic)” Kejriwal tweeted on Saturday.

The chief minister was also referring to the kidnapping and murder of a minor girl from east Delhi’s Khichripur that was reported on Friday. Four men, who had kidnapped and killed the girl, and thrown her body in the fields near Modinagar in Ghaziabad, were arrested on Friday. The police said the four had planned to extort the girl’s family, but murdered her on finding the police on their tail

The Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights and Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) also took cognizance of the incident on Friday and sought a report from the police on the incident as well as action taken on the schoolgirl’s allegations on the police.
