An eight-month-old baby was raped allegedly by her 28-year-old cousin at her home in Delhi, and needed three-hour surgery for her injuries, after which she is in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Doctors say she is stable.
The baby was brought, severely wounded and bleeding, to the hospital on Sunday evening.
She was assaulted at her home in west Delhi's Subhash Nagar when her parents were both out for work, according to the police.
When the mother, a domestic help, returned, she found the baby crying on a bed that was covered in blood.
The family told the police that they suspected the child's cousin, the father of a boy, who was missing.
He had allegedly taken away the baby saying he wanted to play with her.
Ms Maliwal had tweeted last night:
Hitting out at the police in a series of tweets, she raged: "This is not the rape of an eight-month-old child but the rape of the Delhi Women's Commission."
Laws on rape were made tougher after the fatal gang-rape in 2012 of a young student on a moving bus in Delhi.
