Both sides were called to the police station and questioned. Since the victim has not yet filed a formal complaint, no case has been registered so far. Police said action will be taken if a complaint is filed.
Meanwhile, former Child Welfare Committee (CWC) member Dr. Divya Gupta said that since the case involves a minor, the Child Welfare Committee should have been informed and included in the process.
She said such matters should be handled under child protection rules instead of only giving a warning.
