A three-year-old girl residing in a condominium in Sector 54 of Gurugram was sexually assaulted by two female house helps and their male accomplice, according to a complaint filed by her parents.

The incident came to light after the child reportedly described the ordeal to her mother. The parents then approached the police. The alleged crime, as detailed in the TOI report, is said to have occurred last month.

According to the TOI report, the Gurgaon police registered a case at the Sector 53 police station on Wednesday.

The charges have been filed under stringent sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, including abetment to a sexual offence against a child and aggravated penetrative sexual assault. Additionally, Section 65(2) of the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which pertains to rape of a woman under 12 years of age, has been invoked.

Police have detained the two women accused, who were named in the FIR. The report mentioned that one woman was recently employed at the survivor's house, while the other works for a neighbor. The male accomplice remains unnamed at this stage.

However, adding complexity to the case, the TOI report mentions that some residents of the society have approached the police to refute the allegations against the accused, indicating differing perspectives within the community as the investigation continues.
