Shutting-down the rumour mills, Jammu and Kashmir Police on Saturday said investigating agency is in the process of submitting supplementary charge sheet in the rape and murder case of eight-year-old tribal nomad girl of Kathua.
“After completion of all legal formalities of investigation, a charge sheet was produced in the competent court of law and investigating agency is in the process of submitting supplementary charge sheet”, said a Jammu and Kashmir police spokesman.
However, the spokesman said the reports circulated on various media platforms in the last few days are far away from truth.
“Constrained by this reportage, it is to place on record that on the strength of opinion furnished by medical experts, it has been confirmed that the victim was found subjected to sexual assault by the accused. The medical expert has also opined that hymen of the victim was not found intact”, he said.
The spokesman noted that on the basis of medical opinion, section 376 (D) RPC was added in the case. “In addition to this, medical opinion has established beyond doubt that the victim was held in captivity and administered sedatives and her cause of death was asphyxia leading to cardio pulmonary arrest”, he said
Kathua SSP transferred
Senior Superintendent of Police, Kathua, M Suleman Choudhary, who was in the news because of a botched up probe into the rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl in January, was today shifted to the police headquarters.
He will be replaced by Shridhar Patil, who was heading the police force in South Kashmir's militancy affected Kulgam district, according to an official order.
Choudhary, a 2007-batch IPS officer from the Jammu and Kashmir cadre, has been transferred and posted in the same rank with the Criminal Intelligence and Vigilance Department, the order read.
Though the Jammu and Kashmir Police said it was a routine transfer, it comes two weeks after the J&K Crime Branch submitted its charge sheet in the Kathua rape-and-murder case.
The charge sheet accused two district police officers of accepting bribes and destroying crucial evidence.
Superintendent of Police Harmeet Singh, who was in-charge of Sopore in North Kashmir, replaces Patil, an IPS officer of the 2010 batch.
Shailendra Kumar Mishra, a 2009-batch IPS officer, who was posted in the police lines, has been appointed the Senior Superintendent of Police of Shopian, another militancy hit district in South Kashmir. He replaces Ambarkar Shriram Dinkar, an IPS officer of the 2011 batch, who has been shifted to the border district of Kupwara in North Kashmir.
Superintendent of Police, Kupwara, Shamsher Hussain has been made the commandant of 13th batallion of the Jammu and Kashmir Armed Police.
Javid Iqbal, Superintendent of Police at the police control room in Srinagar, has been appointed the district police chief of Sopore, which is considered the gateway for militants infiltrating from across the border.
