Mother's Heart-Wrenching Account of the Discovery
Speaking to the media on Tuesday, January 28, 2026, the victim's mother provided a harrowing account of how she discovered the assault. "She came back home covered in her own blood," the mother revealed, her voice trembling with emotion. "After seeing her in that condition, she fell unconscious from the trauma. I immediately rushed her to the police station, where authorities arranged for medical assistance."
Police Investigation and Apprehension Details
According to police officials, the two juvenile boys were apprehended on January 19, 2026, following a complaint filed by the victim's family. The investigation revealed that the six-year-old girl had left her home on January 18 to run an errand when she was allegedly accosted by three boys in the neighborhood.
The victim's parents disclosed that all three boys were familiar neighbors who lived close to their residence. "My daughter was not very far from our house when this horrific incident occurred," the mother stated. "When the boys finally let her go, they instructed her to tell us that she had fallen from an auto-rickshaw, attempting to conceal their crime."
One Suspect Still at Large, Possibly in Bihar
In a concerning development, the victim's mother alleged that the third boy involved in the assault remains at large. "The police have yet to apprehend one of the boys," she claimed. "We believe he is most probably hiding in his native village in Bihar, attempting to evade authorities."

- The growing concern about juvenile involvement in serious crimes
- Community responsibility in reporting and addressing such incidents

The case continues to develop as police intensify their search for the third suspect while investigating the circumstances that led to this horrific assault on a young child in the nation's capital.
