Amid demands for a CBI probe in the rape and murder case of the eight-year-old Tribal nomad girl in Jammu and Kashmir, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday assured that justice will be served.

The body of the girl was found near the jungles at Rasana village of Hiranagar in Kathua district on January 17, a week after she went missing near her home in Kota village.

"We will ensure that the justice is served in the case", Mehbooba said at the sidelines of International Buyer-Seller meeting.

Five people including two Special Police Officers (SPOs) and a head constable have been arrested in the case so far. SPO Deepak Khajuria alias Depu, 28, was arrested after Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Crime Branch found evidence about his alleged involvement in the case last month. Khajuria was part of the police team searching for the girl after her parents lodged a missing report in Hiranagar police station.

Head Constable Tilak Raj was also picked up after it was found that he had allegedly washed the blood and mud-stained clothes of the victim before sending them for the forensic laboratory for the necessary tests.
