Following the case, social media users have called the horrific incident another Nirbhaya case.

AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj took to his official X account and wrote, “Big shame — Nirbhaya repeated.” He further added, “What else do you expect from @DelhiPolice, whose head @LtGovDelhi wants us to watch his reels eating chhole bhature and jalebi? He doesn’t have time to meet us over the rape of a 3-year-old schoolgirl.”

Earlier this month, a three-year-old child was allegedly raped by a 57-year-old school staff member in West Delhi’s Janakpuri area. The victim’s mother filed a complaint at the Janakpuri police station. The police registered a case under the relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The accused was granted bail on May 7, 2026, within days of the alleged assault.

In another case, a four-year-old child was raped and killed by a 65-year-old man, Bhimrao Khamble, in Pune, Maharashtra, causing widespread uproar on May 1, 2026. Roads were blocked as part of the protests, where protesters demanded capital punishment for the accused. The victim’s body was found in a tin shed where she was assaulted.
