In response to the gravity of the accusations, the court has ordered a medical examination of the accused. The two police station employees have been urged to cooperate with the investigation. Meanwhile, Kush’s family has lodged complaints with the Human Rights Commission and the Superintendent of Police, seeking justice in the matter.
