Not satisfied with police probe': HC orders CBI inquiry in Bulandshahr rape

Deccan Chronicle  

Allahabad: In a snub to the Samajwadi Party government in Uttar Pradesh, the Allahabad High Court on Friday ordered a CBI inquiry into the Bulandshahr gangrape case observing that it was "not satisfied" with the police investigation so far. The high court, which had taken suo motu cognisance of the July 29 incident, also said it intended to "monitor the investigation into the case". A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice D B Bhosale and Justice Yashwant Varma passed the order a day after the state government submitted a status report on the investigation into the incident in a sealed cover. "We are not satisfied, neither with the way the investigation appears to be taking place nor with the material that has been placed on record," the court said and directed the state government to produce the FIR lodged in connection with the crime, the rape victims' medical reports and statements of witnesses by the next date of hearing on August 17.
