Muzaffarpur shelter case: SC grants 3 months to CBI to complete probe

The apex court directed the CBI to submit its report within three months in the case.

Venugopal, however, told the court it will not be possible for the CBI to complete the probe into the alleged murder of 11 girls by June 3.

Ashwani Kumar, accused of administering sedatives to the victims, had filed a petition alleging that the “CBI is suppressing facts.”

Hearing the petition, Muzaffarpur POCSO court had directed the CBI under 164 of the CrPC to look into the prayers of the petitioner.

All the accused, who appeared before court, pleaded innocence and claimed trail.

A similar demand was made by RLSP chief Upendra Kushwaha a day earlier.

The petitioner Ashwani Kumar is one of the accused and he was arrested in Nov last year for injecting sedatives to girls at Muzaffarpur shelter home.

The ED may mention the role of public servants belonging to the state administration, as accused in its first probe report.

Sc had had rapped Bihar Police for failing to arrest the former minister and directed DGP to appear before it if she was not nabbed Nov 27.
