People in Mangolpuri in Delhi protested on streets after an unidentified man raped a 7-year-old girl inside an MCD school in the area.
Angry protesters, including neighbours and local residents clashed outside the hospital with the police.
The police had to resort to lathicharge to clear the crowd that blamed the police for delayed action.
Meanwhile, Gopal Subramanium, former Solicitor-General of India, who was a member of the Justice Verma committee, blamed the Centre's lack of seriousness in dealing with crime against women.
