Gurugram Police have arrested two women working as domestic help, along with a male accomplice, for allegedly sexually assaulting a three-year-old girl, in a case that has drawn national attention and prompted judicial intervention.
The arrests were made on Saturday, shortly after the Supreme Court agreed to hear a plea seeking a probe by either the CBI or a Special Investigation Team (SIT). The alleged incidents took place between December 2025 and January 2026 in a residential society located in Sector 54, Gurugram.
According to police officials, the case came to light in February when the child disclosed the alleged abuse to her mother. Acting on the parents’ complaint, an FIR was registered on February 4 at the Sector 53 police station under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
During the legal proceedings, a senior advocate informed the Supreme Court that despite the child giving a detailed statement before a magistrate describing the incident, no significant action had been taken by the police. The child’s testimony reportedly outlined the sequence of events in detail.
A three-judge bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M. Pancholi took note of the urgency of the matter following submissions by senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi and scheduled the hearing for Monday. Soon after this development, the police moved forward and arrested all three accused.
The accused have been identified as Sangeeta, a resident of Ghamuria village in Etah district of Uttar Pradesh; Pakila, from Bara Chandghar village in Nadia district of West Bengal; and her husband, Kabir Mulla. All three, aged between 30 and 32 years, were residing in the Ghata slum area of Gurugram.
Preliminary findings indicate that one of the women had recently begun working at the victim’s residence, while the other was employed in a neighbouring flat. During this period, the male accused allegedly engaged in inappropriate conduct with the child. Authorities have stated that the investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected to emerge as the probe progresses.
