Initially, there was a delay in registering the FIR. The family members of the victim, Sana Banu Mohammed Bablu Shaikh, expressed frustration over the delay. Asif Ali Shaikh, the girl’s maternal uncle, said, “After the incident, the police came to the hospital, took our statements, and assured us of action. We returned to the station that night, and again, we were assured of action. And now finally the FIR has been registered.”
