Alwar: Even as the Gehlot government has requested for a CBI probe into the alleged sexual assault in Alwar special girl child case, the Municipal Corporation on Friday has cleaned off the incident spot from where the girl was recovered. A senior police official said it is not proper to sanitise the crime scene when efforts are on to transfer the investigation of the case to the CBI. By convention, any probe agency asked to probe the crime would visit the crime scene and collect material evidence from there, the official said.
Speculations are rife that efforts were made by the civic administration to clean the alleged crime scene before the CBI probe begins. The 14-year-old victim, who is hearing and speech impaired, was rescued when she was lying in a pool of blood in a culvert in Alwar on January 11. The police had rushed her to the hospital, where she was operated on despite her extremely critical condition. Both the police and medical superintendents had confirmed it to be a case of gang rape during the initial investigation. Two days later, the Alwar police altered its investigation by linking it to a hit-and-run, citing the medical reports.
