Supreme Court Calls for Enhanced Safety Measures for Women in Delhi-NCR
The Supreme Court on October 5, 2026, emphasized the need to instill fear in criminals targeting women in Delhi-NCR. This statement came during a suo motu hearing on recent rape incidents in the region. The Court highlighted the importance of preventing crimes rather than addressing them post-factum. It noted a systemic failure by law enforcement, referencing specific cases, including the gang rape of a 17-year-old girl and the sexual assault of a minor on a bus. The Court had previously taken cognisance of these issues on September 28, 2026, underlining the urgent need for improved safety measures for women.
