Meanwhile, Singh's father has alleged that the police took no action and did not even register an FIR when his daughter filed a complaint a month ago.
"We went to police, they said okay we'll register a case, but soon that went cold. Then we went to the DIG, they tried to console us and then turned us away," IBN Live quoted the father of the national level player as saying.
