- A five-year-old was allegedly assaulted by a Class 12 student in a Delhi school. The accused, a foreign national, is under diplomatic investigation.
These events raise serious questions about vulnerability in private and public institutions, and the urgency of preventive protocols in healthcare and educational settings.
⚖️ Next Steps
Police assure that arrests will follow soon and hospital accountability will be thoroughly examined. The case has intensified calls for stronger safeguards, especially for unconscious or incapacitated patients in ICU wards.
