Singh is reportedly the first minister from the Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government to react on the incident.
Asifa, the minor, was held captive by the accused at a temple and later she was raped, mutilated and murdered in Rassana village of Kathua months ago, crime branch of Jammu and Kashmir police stated.
However, several lawyers had stopped the police from registering cases against the accused in the case.
After six hours of ruckus, police could file the charge-sheets.
A bandh (strike) was also called in Jammu by several lawyers on Wednesday as a protest against the filing of charge-sheets.
