The two girls, aged eight and three years, were left alone in their rented house at Radha Vihar of Nepali Colony, allegedly by their drunkard father on August 17, they said. After a foul smell started emanating from the house, neighbours made a PCR call on August 19 and the two girls were rescued from the house. They were infected with maggots and had skin infection. The room had no ventilation and it was a breeding ground for mosquitoes. The girls had also not eaten for days and were on the verge of death when they were rescued, a police official said. They were admitted to Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital and are currently out of danger.
“Police have registered a case under sections 317 IPC and 75 of the Juvenile Justice Act. Once the girls are in better condition, we will produce them before CWC,” said DCP Vikramjeet Singh. Police teams have been formed to trace the parents.
