A few days ago, when the girl’s mother fell ill, her brother took her to a hospital. Taking advantage of the situation, Manish sexually assaulted her. After the act, the suspect fled the scene after threatening to kill the girl.

ASI Jarnail Singh reiterated that the police have registered a case against the suspect based on the girl’s complaint and assured that he would be arrested soon.
