    The police later traced the boy and asked him for his statement on the incident but so far he was not willing to do so, the officer said, adding that, “the boy is so frightened that he refused to give a statement and become a complainant in the case, saying the suspects would kill him and his family”.

    Police also reached out to the girl but she refused as well, they added.

    When police officials, DIG operations, and SSP operations were contacted by Dawn, they said an investigation had been launched to establish the facts.

    About the safety of the girl and the boy, they said efforts and arrangements were being made to take them in protective custody as chances of suicide and honour killing cannot be ruled out.
