Chandigarh: The Haryana government yesterday said its decision to honour and give cash rewards to two sisters, who reportedly took on youths trying to molest and assault them, has been put on hold pending a full probe into the incident.
Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar’s officer on special duty Jawahar Yadav told media here yesterday that the state government’s earlier announcement that the two sisters would be honoured for their bravery on the Republic Day (January 26) has been put
on hold.
“The decision will be taken once the investigation into the entire matter is completed.
Through the media, the government came to know of the first incident. Now, we have come to know that there are three videos. We don’t want to do injustice to anyone. We will take a decision after the final report of the investigation,” he said.
Khattar himself said that a fair investigation would be conducted in the incident.
He told media in Rohtak the decision whether the girls would be rewarded or not would be taken after thorough investigation of the incident.
The Haryana government yesterday also reinstated the driver and conductor of the state roadways bus who were suspended earlier for failing to react appropriately when the girls were allegedly molested and assaulted inside the moving bus.
