Today, during an informal discussion with the media in the presence of MP Radheshyam Rathia at the District BJP office on Thursday, OP Choudhary said that so that the identity of the victim's family is not made public, instead of meeting them directly, constant contact was maintained with the family members by taking information about the situation over the phone.

Within 24 hours of filing the FIR, all the accused were identified and seven of them were sent to jail, while the remaining one was found dead in the neighbouring state of Odisha.
