"The CBI has already conducted an inquiry into this case. Under the BJP rule, no culprit is allowed to get away scot free," Pathak said.
"Whether Sambhal or Hathras, he (Gandhi) keeps visiting them just to be in limelight and not for any other reason." UP Minister for Minorities Welfare Om Prakash Rajbhar also slammed Rahul Gandhi. "If he was not aware of facts of the case, he should know that a CBI probe had long been done.
" "If he knows of any higher investigating authority, he should let us know. Such visits are mere gimmicks showing the Congress desperation," Rajbhar said. Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi had met the family on October 3, 2020 and declared they will fight for ensuring justice to the deceased.
The 19-year-old woman was allegedly gangraped on September 14, 2020. She was moved to Aligarh for treatment and later to Delhi, where she died on September 29, 2020. She was cremated in the early hours of October 30, with her family alleging the local police had forced them to conduct the last rites in the dead of the night.
Local police officers, however, had told PTI that the cremation was carried out "as per the wishes of the family". After an initial police probe in the matter, the CBI had taken over the investigation into the case and filed a charge sheet against all four accused.
