He also demanded to register an FIR against those police officials who were involved in arresting the innocent youth to gain cheap publicity.
In a statement, Singh alleged that the police used third degree on the youth forcing him to accept the crime he had not committed. Since the youth is financially not sound, he is not able to get himself treated.
Singh stated that arresting an innocent youth in crime of similar intensity under which the teenage girl underwent during sexual assault.
He stated that by arresting the innocent youth in the crime, Police have tarnished his image in the society and that cannot be given back. Using third degree on the innocent youth comes under the category of crime and thus, an FIR should be registered against the guilty cops, he demanded.

Since the girls are not safe in the State, how could the girls study, as per the slogan of the Government- ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’. He also stated that the Government should make all the necessary arrangements, so that the victim could forget the trauma of the incident.
Singh said that the Government should provide moral support to the victim, so that she could achieve her goal of clearing civil services examinations. He also stated that the legal process should be completed in such a manner that victim and her parents donot face harassment in future.
