The brief facts of the case are that the petitioner had submitted that his minor daughter had been subjected to torture by Respondents No. 9 and 10, and despite his repeated approaches to P.S. Model Town, the police, initially, refused to take action even though complete details of the suspect had been provided. It is further stated that, though, FIR No. 434/2025 dated 09.08.2025 has been registered, the police has not taken any concrete step to trace out minor girl in question.
