Disturbingly, the victim's family has also reported that the accused filmed the assault and posted it on social media. However, no such video evidence has been discovered thus far, according to the SHO.

The young girl's well-being and justice are being prioritized as she underwent a medical examination, and her statement was recorded in court.
