Rather than holding the tormentors accountable, Indian police has booked the boy for being in a relationship with Hindu girl. Upon torture, the pair told that they had remained in a love affair for over two years. The BJP leader then asked the girl to tell the contact information of her parents while the girl kept on begging for mercy.
Varshney became furious with the girl as her family was unaware of her affair with a boy from the minority community. "They (Muslims) are not to be trusted … there are consequences to such relations," she told media after admitting to torture the girl in front of camera.
The girl s father reacted to the matter by telling that he is a poor, ordinary man who had apologised to everyone for his daughter s actions. He added that he didn t even know about her daughter s friendship with the Muslim boy.
