The decision to shift the girl was taken at the highest level of the Indian government.

On 16 December, the girl was gangraped and brutally assaulted in a moving bus and was undergoing treatment at a hospital in Delhi.

The girl, battling for life for the past 10 days at Safdarjung hospital in New Delhi, remained on ventilator support during most part of her treatment in Delhi.
