Chitra Wagh, member of the women's commission, met senior inspector Ravindra Badgujar and enquired about the alleged misbehaviour of the policemen with the minor survivors. Wagh condemned both the incidents and met the 12-year-old girl at her residence.

Inspector general of police Amitabh Gupta told dna: "We have taken each case seriously and would register the cases if the complainants approach us. Investigations would be conducted as per legal procedures and we will make sure that there is no violation of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.
