Calcutta HC orders CBI probe in Bengal teen's rape, murder case
India TodayThe Calcutta High Court has ordered a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation into the alleged rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl in Bengal’s Nadia district. We cannot lose sight of the fact that the accused is the son of a powerful leader of the ruling party and that there is material available in the case diary indicating that the family members of the victim have been threatened.” “The fact that there is no Medico-legal Case, no post-mortem report and no death certificate also creates a suspicion about an attempt to suppress the entire incident and to wipe out the evidence. Earlier in the day, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra condemned the alleged rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl in West Bengal’s Nadia district, assuring the family that the “full extent of the law will be implemented” to punish the culprits. The victim’s family alleged that the body was cremated without an autopsy under pressure from a local TMC panchayat leader, whose son Braj Gopal Goala is the prime accused in the case.
