"I met the family of the girl on Thursday itself as instructed by the prime minister and conveyed his message that they will get justice," Hans told PTI.
He claimed that during his meeting with the family, he was told the girl was "torched alive" after allegedly being sexually assaulted.
"I am Sufi in nature and an artist as well. The pain of the mother and the father of the girl has shaken me. I myself wrote the report and presented it to the prime minister," the famous singer said.
