The NCPCR and State Commission for Children have taken up the suo motu case in this connection.Detailed information has been sought on action initiated in the case, present condition of minor victims, the progress in investigation, the statement under CrPC Section 164 by victims, how they are protected and other issues.Police sources explained that the investigating officer will get the statement recorded under Section 164 before the local court by victim girls on Thursday.

The Second District and Session's Court of Chitradurga will take a call on the bail plea which is likely to be objected to by the police department.The police inaction in the case is being discussed at the national level.

Including the hostel warden and junior pontiff, the case has been registered against five persons for colluding in the case of sexual assault.The girls are demanding a judicial probe and told police that they have videos and they will be submitted only if a judicial probe is ordered.
