The police have done a good job and invoked sections 307 and 554, which should have been done earlier. I wish that no woman in this country should go through such an accident. People should change their mentality. We went to Gurugram and met SHO Manoj Kumar, who said an arrest would happen, and now it has happened. This is not an accident crime. It is an attempt to murder crime. I thank all the authorities," victim Sia's father told reporters.
