"She will be in the ICU for two to three days and the administration is on their toes to catch the perpetrators of the crime," she added.

The Minister said that Jahangirabad Sub-inspector Jitendra Chandariya brought the victim to the hospital along with a person named Manoj, who found the girl when he was going to the washroom.
