Delhi minor's rape: Slapped girl's brother asks Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde to sack errant cops
New Delhi: The brother of the Class 12 student who was slapped by a Delhi Police officer while she was protesting the rape of a five-year-old girl, submitted a letter to the home minister's office today demanding "dismissal of errant cops".

The letter carries signatures of 31,000 people who are demanding dismissal of all the three Delhi Police officers who were suspended following the incident.

"We have submitted the letter to the office of union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde at North Block today (Friday) afternoon. The staff has assured us that it will be forwarded to Mr Shinde," Kapil Mishra told IANS. A campaign activist, he accompanied the victim's brother Narender to the home minister's office.

Assistant Commissioner of Police BS Ahlawat was suspended and booked for slapping the girl - an incident caught on TV cameras - while two other policemen were suspended for misbehaving with the rape victim's family.

The small, five-year-old girl was brutally raped and tortured by two men in Gandhi Nagar in east Delhi. They were later arrested from Bihar where they had fled to.
