New Delhi: The Supreme Court Monday granted two more weeks to the CBI to complete investigation into a road accident in which the Unnao rape survivor and her lawyer were critically injured and two of her aunts killed.
The apex court, which had earlier given two weeks to the CBI to complete the probe, extended the time while noting that the probe agency has done "quite an extensive investigation" so far in the case.
While seeking four more weeks to complete the probe, CBI told the top court that statements of the rape survivor and her lawyer have not been recorded yet.
A bench of Justices Deepak Gupta and Aniruddha Bose also directed the Uttar Pradesh government to pay Rs 5 lakh to the lawyer who is in a critical condition and undergoing treatment.
The bench, however, took exception to some public statements made by the family members of the rape survivor in the media and said it might help the accused during the trial of the case.
