Aastha Kunj gang rape area was already a Delhi Police ‘dark spot’; but lighting gaps remained
Delhi police had identified the Aastha Kunj park area as a ‘dark spot’ due to inadequate lighting. Surveys found that 33% of 1,525 streetlights inspected in southeast Delhi were not working, and the lighting gaps around the park persist despite reports being sent to authorities. The police flagged the lit stretches and forwarded the deficiencies to civic agencies, but remediation has been slow.
