Nation reels in shock as two minor girls gangraped in Delhi

Two minors were brutally gangraped in the city, incidents which comes close on the heels of the rape of a four-year-old girl in northwest Delhi last week. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who met the victims today, expressed concern over the "repeated" rape of minors in the city and asked what the Prime Minister and the Delhi LG were doing. He also pinned the blame of such incidents on the Delhi Police.

Repeated rape of minors is shameful and worrying. Delhi police has completely failed to provide safety. What are PM n his LG doing?
