Uttarakhand's Legal Battle for Justice in Nanhi Pari Case

The Uttarakhand government is taking decisive legal action by filing a review petition in the Supreme Court. The move follows the court's controversial acquittal of an accused in the brutal 2014 rape case involving a seven-year-old girl from Pithoragarh.

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has underscored the government's unwavering resolve to pursue justice. He has tasked the justice department with preparing the petition and promised the deployment of a high-caliber legal team for this important cause.

In an effort to eradicate such acts of brutality within the state, a verification drive is underway to identify those with a propensity for anti-social behavior. Dhami reaffirmed the state's allegiance to safeguarding Devbhoomi's integrity and supporting the victim's family throughout their legal journey.
