"A case has been registered in Rahuwas police station against an SI identified as Bhupendra based on the complaint by a family living nearby. They have accused him of rape. A medical examination is being done of the minor girl. Necessary action will be taken," ASP Mr Singh said.

News of the rape spread soon, leading to a large gathering of villagers at the Rahuwas police station. They shouted slogans against the police, and the enraged crowd reportedly beat up Bhupendra Singh before turning him over to the police.

BJP MP Kirodi Lal Meena, responding to the situation, arrived at the scene expressing solidarity with the community. He addressed the widespread anger, specifically mentioning a similar incident involving the rape of a seven-year-old Dalit girl by a policeman in Lalsot. Meena highlighted his commitment to seeking justice for the innocent child and announced a compensation of ₹50 lakh for the affected girl's family.

"I have come here to help the girl. The sub-inspector has been arrested. For me, elections come afterwards, and my first priority will be giving the family justice. It is a shameful incident," said Mr. Meena.

BJP MP Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore attacked the Gehlot government for ruining the environment and the culture of Rajasthan and accused the Chief Minister of being solely responsible for the incident.

“Instead of taking quick action on the accused, the Rajasthan police and administration took action in an institutional manner to save the accused...No suspension was done immediately. What about the two other police officials who have helped this particular accused in destroying the evidence. Has the Rajasthan police and government taken action against them immediately?,” He said.
