Meanwhile, the incident has triggered massive protests demanding justice for the victim. A team of Delhi Police officials also visited Janauti village – near the incident site – in the early hours of Tuesday to investigate the incident. The Union Home Ministry has sought a detailed report from the Delhi Police. The Delhi Police has also constituted an inquiry committee, headed by Special Commissioner Shalini Singh, and asked her to submit a probe report as early as possible, reported news agency PTI.

Five men – who were allegedly in the car – have been arrested and booked for culpable homicide, not amounting to murder, among other sections. The post-mortem has also been done, and the contents of the report are likely to be out on Tuesday.
