BALANGIR | in Bhubaneswar
===================
Two persons Jagnya Saraf and Supal Meher of village
Sargipali in Khaprakhol block of Balangir district involved in the sensational
gangrape of a minor girl in Sargipali were arrested and forwarded to court on
Saturday. This was informed at a Press conference here by Balangir
Superintendent of Police Deepak Kumar. The girl was gangraped and brutally
killed on May 22. Her body was found on the side of a nullah.Giving details of
the incident, Kumar said the Khaprakhol Police initially registered a case
under Section 363 IPC, which turned to Sections 364, 376, 376, 20(i) and 302
IPC, Section 4 of PCSO Act and Section 3 of SC/ST (PA) Act as new facts came to
light in course of investigation.
The girl had spurned the advances of the accused on several
occasions. Moreover, another accused has “some relation” with a close woman
relative of the deceased girl, which she had come to know and which disapproved
and threatened to disclose. As both the accused are close friends and had a
grudge against the girl, they wanted to silence her, Dr Kumar said.“We strongly
suspect involvement of another person in this case, and we are waiting for
arrival of a scientific investigation team, and the case is under
investigation,” he said.
“During our investigation so far, we could not find any
evidence of caste-related offence or even involvement of a liquor lobby; we
rather found it to be an offence due to passion and revenge,” the SP said.Asked
to comment on the report of pouring of acid on the girl’s dead body, Dr Kumar
said that according to a of forensic report if a body lies open in temperature
of above 42 degree Celsius, it would decompose fast and maggots would be formed
and it would appear different. The investigation has so far revealed that there
was gangrape.
The inquiry officer has been asked to submit a joint inquiry
report early so that compensation under provisions of the (POA) and SC/ST Acts
can be provided to the victim’s family.The case has been marked as a “red flag
case” where chargesheet would be submitted and a “holding investing officer”
would be appointed and the entire trial would be conducted in a fast track
court, Dr Kumar said.
