However, the girl’s family alleged that initially, the police turned them away several times and even tore the copy of their complaint twice. The family also claimed that Cops asked them to strike the name of one of the accused from the complaint. However, the police denied these allegations.

“We had called the family to the police station to record their statements, but they are yet to come. Initial findings do not suggest any lag in police behaviour,” reported The Times of India, quoting Abhay Kumar Mishra, the circle officer of Indirapuram, as saying. The FIR was registered in the case under sections 323, 363, 376 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and relevant provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
