Kathua Probe Team

Defending the team that probed the Kathua rape and murder case last year, Jammu and Kashmir police chief Dilbag Singh on Wednesday said no witnesses were tortured and but the court's order to file a First Information Report against the investigating police officials would be followed.

Four months after six people were convicted in the 2018 rape and murder of an eight-year-old nomadic girl in a village in Jammu's Kathua, a local court directed the police on Tuesday to file a FIR against six members of the Special Investigation Team (SIT), which probed the case, for allegedly torturing and coercing witnesses to give false statemen...

The Jammu and Kashmir lawyers did not obstruct justice in the Kathua rape case and their demand for a CBI investigation into the matter is "justified" the Bar Council of India told the Supreme Court today. The Council said these were the conclusions of a probe team it sent to the state.

"She is a girl, how intelligent can she be?" - Defence lawyer Ankur Sharma had earlier commented about the only woman police officer Shwetambari Sharma who is investigating Kathua child rape case.
