NHRC Issues Notice After Minor Rape Victim's Death
A young girl who was a victim of a serious crime sadly passed away in the hospital.
She was kept in an ambulance for several hours because there wasn't a bed available.
The National Human Rights Commission is now looking into the situation because it seems like the girl didn't get the care she needed quickly enough.
The government is now being asked to explain what happened and why there was a delay in the little girl’s treatment.
The authorities are investigating to understand the circumstances of the young girl's death.
