The duo is still absconding. later, the girl was rushed to Ambedkar hospital.
However, the girl’s family alleged that the police did not co-operate with them and made them sit in the police station from evening till five in the morning.
“The police are not co-operating with us and they have not even given us a copy of the FIR or told us the number. We called on 181 helpline and took the FIR number from them. The response and their behaviour was quite rude. The accused slapped her and hit on her head. She is in a nervous state now. Even after they arrested Asif and he told them in front of us that his brother-in-law was involved too; police have not taken any action,” said the victim’s
elder brother.
