The Delhi Police on Wednesday transferred the case of the alleged rape and murder of a nine-year-old girl in southwest Delhi’s Old Nangal area to Crime Branch.
"The case has been transferred to the Crime Branch for further expeditious and scientific investigation in order to enable a speedy trial in the interest of justice," said Chinmoy Biswal, the spokesperson of Delhi Police. The girl died under suspicious circumstances, even as her parents alleged that she was raped and forcefully cremated by a crematorium’s priest in the Nangal village.
Police had said that based on the statement of the victim’s mother, rape charges have been added in the FIR. Four people, including the priest, have been arrested. Only the burnt legs of the girl were recovered from the crematorium ground.
