New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear a petition seeking its intervention into the Muzaffarpur shelter home sexual assault case.
The petitioner told the apex court that the charge sheets filed by Central Bureau of Investigation have included lesser charges and failed to include rape and murder.
The petitioner also claimed that during the hearing that there are lapses in CBI's investigation into the matter.
He said that even though many of the girls have given clear statements regarding the death of a girl and rape of several others, CBI has failed to include these charges in the chargesheet.
"CBI investigation has done nothing to trace the uncles, that is, outsiders who came into the shelter home to assault the girls, even though the girls have testified about them. Also, the girls were taken outside the shelter home to be sexually assaulted," he said.
The Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, earlier, transferred the trial of the case from Bihar to Delhi court and ordered the judge to complete it within six months. The court will hear the plea after two weeks.
The investigation was also transferred to the CBI since lapses were found in the probe done by the Bihar police.
