NHRC team reaches Koraput to probe Kunduli rape-suicide case

A five-member team of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) today reached here for investigating into the suicide of the allegedly gang-raped minor schoolgirl of Kunduli.
"The entire incident from the alleged rape to her suicide will be investigated. All documents, including medical reports and the nature of treatment given to the victim, will be examined," said Rabi Singh, a deputy superintendent of police rank officer who is leading the NHRC team.
Any person who wants to share any information related to the incident with the team would be welcomed, he said.
The team is scheduled to visit Musaguda village tomorrow to meet the victim girl's family.

The team would leave for New Delhi on February 9 and will submit its report to the NHRC.
The 14-year-old girl was allegedly raped by four men while she was returning home from a market in Koraput on October 10 last year.

The police had claimed that she was not raped. The girl had on January 22 committed suicide by hanging herself allegedly for not getting justice.
The Odisha CID has sent the exhibits of the rape case to the Central Forensic Science Laboratory, Kolkata, for re-examination.
On December 29, the girl had alleged that senior police officers had tried to influence her and even offered money to withdraw the case.

The Odisha government has appointed the Koraput district judge the head of the inquiry commission to probe the alleged gang rape and suicide of the tribal girl.
The brother of the girl on February 1 filed a suit against 11 state government officials in a court here, alleging negligence on their part.
