Speaking to reporters later,  the NCW Member  deplored the  insensitivity shown by the cops when the victim had arrived at the station to lodge  a complaint after walking for three kms despite the burn injuries and pain. The cops  could have very well admitted her to hospital  first before getting a complaint  filed as the  victim at that moment was in deep pain and was unable to write, Kunder observed.

She said the Commission has lodged a suo moto case  in connection with the incident. She said she had spoken to the SP on the  dereliction of duty of the cops, action initiated as well as the probe into the incident.

 A Usman, Deputy Director of Department of Women and Child Welfare, Dr Shivaprakash, surgeon of Wenlock Hospital and  others were present.
