The police said that it got involved with the paperwork and hence could not start the investigation immediately. The police said that the girl had expressed displeasure with the local police and hence the case was transferred to the crime branch, resulting in delay of case.

Avinash Pandey, the superintendent of police (rural) Meerut, was quoted saying by the daily that the case has been pending with the crime branch and that he has issued directions to arrest the accused. No arrests were made in the case till the time of filing this report.
