As per a statement from the legal and human rights department of the Delhi Congress, they also sought transferring the case from Surajkund police station in Haryana's Faridabad to Amar Colony police station in Delhi's Lajpat Nagar.

''Chairman of the Legal and Human Rights Department of Delhi Congress Advocate Sunil Kumar said the murdered girl had been working at the D.M Office, Lajpat Nagar, and that was the reason for the demand to transfer the case to Lajpat Nagar, as the girl was apparently kidnapped from Delhi and there is a suspicion on the staff of the DM office in the murder case,'' the statement read.
