The panel will interact with the inmates on Saturday and seek a report from the district administration and police.

Commission member Shamina Shafiq will head the panel. "The commission will prepare a detailed report... It’s disturbing and shocking to know that girls were repeatedly raped, exploited and sold," she said.
