Kathua rape: All BJP ministers resign from Mehbooba government

A decision on whether the BJP will remain in the Mehbooba Mufti-led government will be taken after the resignations, as per sources.

In Kathua, an eight-year-old girl from a minority nomadic community disappeared near her house on January 10. A week later, her body was found in the same area.

A Special Investigation Team, formed to probe the incident, has arrested eight people, including two special police officers (SPOs) and a head constable, who was charged with destroying evidence

The charge sheet stated that the girl was gang-raped inside a temple, where she was confined using sedatives. The accused then strangled and hit her on the head twice with a stone.
