Lucknow, June 15 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati has ordered the suspension of a police officer over serious lapses in handling of the alleged rape-and-murder case of a minor girl within the compound of Nighasan police station in Lakhimpur District.
Mayawati announced the suspension of Lakhimpur-Kheri Superintendent of Police D.K. Rai at a press conference here.
Under fresh attack over the Lakhimpur incident, Mayawati today accused the opposition parties of playing politics over the murder case.
"Opposition parties should stop playing politics and help the government in arresting the culprits," she added
Assuring strong action in the case, Mayawati said the government will take the strictest possible action against the accused.
Mayawati also said that the state government is hesitant in transferring the case to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) because of the fear that the result will be the same as the Aarushi Talwar murder case.
The Congress had earlier charged the Mayawati Government claiming that the authorities are trying to shield the accused in the case.
"The state government is trying everything to sabotage the case. The way the chief minister is carrying on the inquiry, it is very clear that she is trying to protect the criminals there, which in this case is the UP police," said Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi.
"We have proved that she was murdered. We will also prove that there was an attempt to rape her," she added.
The second autopsy conducted on the minor girl's body, which was found hanging from a tree within the compound of Nighasan police station in Uttar Pradesh"s Lakhimpur District on Friday night, yesterday confirmed that the victim was murdered.
The Uttar Pradesh Government has ordered a CB-CID probe into the case.
Missing since Friday evening, the 14-year-old girl was found hanging from a tree inside the premises of Nighasan Police Station. The victim's mother in her complaint had alleged that the girl was raped and murdered. (ANI)
