Family members later rushed her to a hospital, where she received treatment and was discharged on June 12. However, the woman said she continued to suffer severe pain even after returning home. On June 17, she was taken back to the district hospital, where further medical examinations, including an ultrasound, were conducted. According to the victim and police officials, doctors subsequently recovered a cartridge-like object, a stone and a piece of wood during treatment.

He confirmed that objects had been recovered during medical treatment and said the victim's allegations appeared credible at this stage of the inquiry.

Police said the woman's statement before a court also included allegations of rape. Officials added that efforts were underway to identify and arrest all those involved and ensure a speedy trial. Authorities have also said that if any police negligence is found during the investigation, appropriate action will be taken against the personnel concerned. The investigation is ongoing, and police are awaiting further medical and forensic reports. Ends
