A citizens' group which conducted an individual probe into the Kathua rape incident today claimed that the charge sheet filed by the Jammu and Kashmir Police in the case had discrepancies and the investigation was botched-up.

The group of intellectuals and academicians (GIA) will hand over a fact finding report in the case to Union Minister Jitendra Singh tomorrow.

"We met more than 25 people including the victim's family, the accused family members, the influential people from the Bakarwal community and others," GIA's convener Monika Arora said.

She said that there are "discrepancies in the charge sheet" filed by the Jammu and Kashmir Police crime branch and the entire "investigation was botched-up."
