CBI takes over Hathras gang-rape case, begins probe


New Delhi, Oct 11 (IANS): The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Sunday said it had registered a case and taken over the investigation of the Hathras gang rape-murder of a 19-year-old Dalit woman.

The CBI registered the case on a complaint of the victim's brother who alleged that an accused had tried to strangulate her sister in a millet field on September 14.

The case was earlier probed by the Uttar Pradesh Police. The agency took over the case following the a request by the Uttar Pradesh government and further notification from the central government.

The CBI said that it has constituted a special team to probe the case, which led to the widespread criticism of the UP government after the victim was hurriedly cremated by Hathras police on September 30.

The woman died at a Delhi hospital on September 29, a fortnight after she was allegedly raped at her village by four upper-caste men.

    Simple question, can the CBI redo the post mortem???
    If not they too will say she was not raped at all!
    Then what's the use of a CBI enquiry???

    Exactly aiims have never released a statement that it was suicide, instead they told that the left out remains they have are in very bad state and will be difficult to come to conclusion.

    As long as the CBI remains under the government, the result of any investigation will be exactly what the government wants. In this particular case, the UP government was very anxious that the investigation be done by the CBI. So naturally, the verdict is going to be a foregone conclusion. I can only say there is no justice left in this country. Our courts have stopped delivering justice.
