According to a TOI report, 3 police stations sat on her complaint for hours, one of the police personnel, called her story ‘filmy’ and refuse to lodge a complaint. She was mocked for reporting her own rape.

According to an NDTV report, the police have also been accused of keeping the crime under wraps because it took place on a day it was preoccupied with the Madhya Pradesh founding day celebration.
The police have arrested the four rapists. The accused are identified as Golu Bihari, Amar Chhantu, Rajesh, and Ramesh.
The National Commission For Women has also written to DGP, Madhya Pradesh to not only take strict action against the culprits but also the police personnel who refused to file her complaint.
A 19-year-old student in Bhopal, studying for the Indian Administrative Services, gang-raped and then humiliated by people who are supposed to protect her.
