In a shocking act of violence, a teenage girl in Mohali was set on fire after her father allegedly slapped a man who had been harassing her. The assailant reportedly poured sanitiser on the girl before igniting it, leading to severe injuries. She was first rushed to a government hospital, and due to the extent of her burns, was later referred to the Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh for advanced treatment.

This brutal attack raises urgent questions about safety and accountability in our communities. Why was this man allowed to roam free, and what measures are in place to protect vulnerable individuals from such heinous acts? The government must take immediate action to ensure that justice is served and that incidents like this do not go unpunished.

As reported by NDTV, the local authorities are now under pressure to address the growing concerns over public safety and the protection of minors. Citizens deserve to feel secure in their neighborhoods, and it is imperative that the government steps up to fulfill its promise of safety and justice for all.
