Santosh Doke, police inspector of Shahupuri Police Station, said, "We are tracing the suspects and soon we will be catching hold of them. There were no functional CCTV cameras inside the building. The doctor told us that the family bought some CCTV cameras some days ago, but due to their busy schedule, they could not install them."
