Jaipur: The Congress-led Rajasthan government on Sunday decided to hand over the investigation of the Alwar rape case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). To recall, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday had said the state government is open to get the matter of an intellectually-disabled girl found in Alwar probed by a police officer from outside the city, by the Crime Branch, SOG or the CBI according to her family’s desire.

Lashing out at the BJP, he alleged that the opposition party was spreading “disgusting propaganda” for politics and the party was calling her a gang-rape victim, despite a medical report establishing that she had not been raped or sexually assaulted. Gehlot said that an investigation was underway to find out the cause of the girl’s injuries.

Alwar Rape Case:

The 14-year-old girl was found in a distressed state with injuries on her private parts on a bridge near Tijara Fatak on Tuesday night in Alwar.  She was found bleeding and taken to a hospital where she underwent a two-and-a-half-hour-long surgery.

According to police, the probe revealed that she had traveled from her village to the city on her own, they said.

“The state police is already doing an independent and impartial investigation in the case. Still, if the girl’s family wants this matter to be investigated by a specific officer outside Alwar, or by the CID, Crime Branch, SOG, or the CBI, then the state government is ready for this as well,” Gehlot tweeted.
