SGPC writes to PM for CBI probe into Alwar girl’s case

Amritsar | Tuesday | 19th April, 2022

Summary:

Amritsar, Apr 19 (PTI) SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami on Tuesday urged the Centre to order a CBI probe into the case of a differently abled girl, found under a flyover in Rajasthan’s Alwar district in January this year.

Dhami told the Centre that the case of the mentally challenged minor girl who is suspected to have been sexually assaulted before being dumped should be probed by the CBI or any other appropriate central agency.

It is a must to ensure that “the culprits who committed the heinous crime against the Sikh girl, are sent behind bars and justice is provided to her," the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee president said.

The girl was found in Alwar with grievous injuries on her private parts and the Rajasthan police too had initially suspected it to be a case of rape.

But quoting the medical examination report of the victim, Alwar Superintendent of police Tejaswini Gautam had later said that it was not a case of rape.

Amid the growing resentment against the police over the case, the Rajasthan government, however, had decided to entrust the case to the CBI in January itself.
