Justice will be delivered says J&K CM in Kathua rape case
Srinagar, Apr 12 (IBNS): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, on Thursday, said that the law cannot be obstructed by irresponsible actions, after a group of lawyers obstructed the Crime Branch and tried to prevent it from filing a charge sheet against those accused of raping and murdering an eight-year old girl in Kathua town three months ago.
The Crime Branch has already filed a charge sheet against eight accused who allegedly raped and murdered the eight year old child in Rasna area of Heeranagar.
There have been allegations that some BJP-backed supporters are trying to defend the rapists demanding transfer of case from Crime Branch to CBI.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister tweeted on Thursday: “The Law will not be obstructed by the irresponsible actions & statements of a group of people. Proper procedures are being followed, investigations are on the fast track & justice will be delivered. #JusticeForAsifa”.
