"It is surprising that the chief minister is saying that if the family of the girl demands, the government would consider referring the case to CBI as it is demanding the same since beginning," Pilot said.
The Congress leader said her family members have already forwarded letters to the President, Governor and Chief Minister seeking a CBI inquiry and the government has earlier rejected the demand.
Pilot alleged that the government is questioning the girl's character to dilute the case and shield the accused.
The 17-year-old girl, who was pursuing a teacher training course, was found dead in a water tank on March 30 in the college premises in Bikaner.
On the intervening night of March 28-29, she was found in the room of the college's physical trainer Vijendra Singh by the hostel warden.
