The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday announced a reward of Rs. 10 lakh for providing credible information resulting in arrest of accused in the sensational gang rape and murder of a minor girl in Shimla earlier this year.
Last month, the CBI arrested former Shimla Superintendent of Police, DW Negi along with seven other policemen in the custodial death of one of the accused in regards with the same case.
In July, the Himachal Pradesh High Court transferred the two cases to the CBI after the custodial death of the accused, Suraj Singh, a Nepali national, came to light.
