Benda directed the chief medical officer (CMO) to take proper care of the victim and her family members besides starting a counselling session of the victim and her family members.

She added, “However, her family members have not given any proper statement regarding this, but we assure of appropriate action in this case. I have also asked the police to speed-up the investigation.”
