After the instructions of the Deputy Commissioner, it is expected that all kinds of protective measures will be taken while keeping the girl in state custody to ensure her safety, mental peace, education, housing and physical security. Public, social and welfare circles have demanded that a transparent, impartial and legal investigation be conducted into the matter and if the intervention of any individual or group is proven, strict legal action should be taken against them so that the future and human rights of the victim girl can be ensured. Along with this, the Chairman of the Welfare Organization Court, Chaudhry Akhtar Hussain, has also been appealed to provide shelter to the affected girl in his institution so that she can get all the opportunities for education, psychological support, residential security and human development in a safe environment.
