For months, 34 of the 42 confined detainees, ages seven to seventeen, were found to have been subjected to sexual and physical assault. The case’s horrible details sparked anger and nationwide protests, prompting the CBI to take up the investigation. The Delhi High Court convicted the main accused, Brajesh Thakur, to a life sentence in January 2020.
