Providing details of the review meeting, the IG said that a SIT under DIG, crime against women, Sudhir Laad had been constituted to probe the institute.The team would comprise of officials from Bhopal police and GRP, along with two women police officers, including Mahila police station TI, FSL team and public prosecutor.
