Meanwhile, advocate Salam Mangal said that after the MSWC had rejected the case after three months the DGP was also approached but still no action had been taken up to punish the involved commandos.
If the women commission cannot take action in an issue concerning assault of a pregnant woman, where can the victim go or approach, he asked.
