‘Chief minister Akhilesh Yadav has ordered recommendation of the CBI probe into the Mohanlalganj incident as desired by the victim’s family members’, a senior Home department official told PTI.
The body of the woman, a widow, was found in the premises of a primary school in Balsingh Kheda in Mohanlalganj area on 17 July after which a private security guard Ram Sewak Yadav was arrested by the police.
Earlier, additional director general of police (ADG) Sutapa Sanyal had claimed that the incident was handiwork of a single man and there was no ‘sexual intercourse’.
However, the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) report pointed out at rape and presence of human cells of more than one person in nails of the victim.
The family members of the victim were sitting on relay dharna since 22 July, a day after they wrote a letter to DGP and chief minister demanding a CBI probe.
The family members had written a letter to chief minister Akhilesh Yadav and DGP AL Banerjee demanding a CBI probe into the incident.
