Baduan case: CBI to exhume rape victims' bodies today
New Delhi, July 20 (IBNS): After the procedure was stopped on Saturday as the water level rose in Ganga, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is likely to try on Sunday to exhume the bodies of two sisters of Badaun in Uttar Pradesh, who were allegedly raped and then hanged from a tree.
According to reports, the investigating agency officials were finding it difficult to locate the bodies.
They are waiting for the water level in Ganga to recede so that they can exhume the bodies of the victims.
The bodies are likely to be exhumed for fresh autopsy at the advice of doctors.
Meanwhile, the CBI has found inconsistencies in the statements of the relatives of the victims. The agency had reportedly conducted the polygraph tests on the father and uncle of the deceased on Saturday night.
A team of 20 Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officials led by a Deputy Inspector General (DIG) had reached Uttar Pradesh from New Delhi last month to start its investigation into the Badaun gangrape and murder case.
Two Dalit minor sisters were allegedly gangraped and then hanged from a tree at Katra village in Badaun district on May 27.
The cousin sisters, aged 14 and 15 respectively, were reportedly missing since May 27 night.
