All aspects of the case are under investigation. We shall reveal the truth at the earliest with action against the culprit.”
There was hesitation from family to register the FIR at first but on 4th January, girl’s father had filed a missing complaint. When the body was recovered by cops on January 6, the family refused identification and resisted their daughters from giving any statement.
