Sardar SinghADCP Satbir Singh Atwal, who is heading the three-member committee, said that she appeared before the SIT and endorsed all allegations which she had written to SHO at Koomkalan police station on February 1.

She repeated that she was engaged to Sardar, who raped her and forced her to abort their child. Later, he refused to marry her.
