Supreme Court criticises Delhi Police over rape cases, issues women's safety directives

The Supreme Court has criticised Delhi Police for lapses in handling recent rape cases, drawing parallels with the 2012 Nirbhaya case. The court expressed concern that these incidents expose significant security blind spots across the National Capital Region.

The SC noted the lack of preventive action by authorities and issued four directives aimed at improving women's safety. The judgement underscores persistent gaps in police response and criminal prevention systems despite years since the landmark Nirbhaya verdict.
