The survivor's elder brother, however, alleged laxity on parts of police and said his sister was pressurised to give a "statement that suits them".

We approached the police station to register an FIR but they refused and paid no heed to our pleas," he was quoted as saying.

Mainpuri circle officer (city) Abhay Narayan stressed that the FIR was registered based on the complaint submitted by the girl's family, adding that her medical report did not show any internal injuries.
