Lucknow: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the alleged gang rape and torture of the 20-year-old Dalit woman has reached Hathras this morning and began the probe.
As per the reports, the SIT will submit its final report over the case to the Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath tomorrow.
UP CM has set up the three-member panel amid immense criticism over its handling of the case.
The team is headed by UP Home Secretary Bhagwan Swaroop, Deputy Inspector General of Police Chandraprakash and IPS officer Poonam.
Last week, after the nationwide outrage over the gang rape and death of the woman, the UP government had suspended five policemen, including the Superintendent of Police.
The Special Investigation Team probing the incident in its initial report called for their suspension over allegations of mismanagement.
It has also asked for a narco-analysis, also known as lie-detector tests, of all those involved including the arrested suspects and the family of the victim.
Yesterday, an FIR has been filed by the Uttar Pradesh police that lists sedition an “international conspiracy” and promoting religious hatred among 19 charges.
