Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on Saturday said the investigation in the case of a Dalit law student who was brutally raped and murdered is on, adding his government won't spare the culprits.
"Our Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala is personally looking at the case of the Dalit law student who was brutally raped and murdered; we will book the real culprits," Chandy told ANI.
"The enquiry is going on in the case and we will find out everything on time," he added.
Chandy, who had announced an ex-gratia of Rs. 10 lakh as compensation to the family of the Dalit law student, further said his government has provided all possible assistance to kin of the victim.
"We gave everything to the family of the victim, they wanted money for purchase of land and a new house and we have sanctioned everything," he added.
Meanwhile, both the BJP and the CPI(M) has held the ruling Congress-led UDF responsible for the deteriorating law and order situation in Kerala.
As per the investigation by Kerala Police so far, 30 persons have been detained based upon accusation.
