"This will be brought under a speedy trial": Muzaffarpur SSP on alleged rape-murder of minor girl

Muzaffarpur (Bihar) [India], June 2 (ANI): The Bihar Police said on Monday that they will file a chargesheet within 15 days in the alleged rape and murder of a minor girl in Muzaffarpur and the matter will be brought under a speedy trial.
Speaking to ANI, Muzaffarpur Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Sushil Kumar asserted that the accused has been sent to judicial custody.
"This incident occurred on 27th May...The accused lived in a neighbouring village and knew them. He used to come there often. He was a fish seller. He lured the girl and raped her. Taking swift action, the Police arrested the accused. He has been sent to judicial custody. The FSL team had gone there, and the spot was examined. All samples have been collected, including samples from clothes too," SSP Kumar said.
"We have sent all of this to FSL for examination. Besides this, we will file a chargesheet within 15 days. This will be brought under a speedy trial, so that we can take whatever further action is required," he said.
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has also taken suo motu cognizance of a media report detailing the tragic death of a nine-year-old girl, who was a victim of rape and brutal assault, at Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) on June 1.
Earlier today, lashing out at the "double-engine" government in Bihar over the alleged rape and murder of a minor girl in Muzaffarpur, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav alleged "administrative anarchy" in the state as law and order has "collapsed."
Speaking to the media, Yadav said that no one from the government has time to visit the victim's family as "the CM and his Deputy CMs are busy with political programs."
"The double-engine government has failed in Bihar. The CM never discussed this; I am unsure if he is even aware of the incidents. Law and order has collapsed. There is administrative anarchy in the whole of Bihar. No action is being taken... No one has time to meet the victim or the victim's family. The CM and both the Deputy CMs are busy in political programs," Tejashwi Yadav said.
The 10-year-old girl died at Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) on Sunday, in-charge Superintendent Dr Abhijit Singh said.
The minor girl's uncle, Virendra Paswan, has, however, alleged negligence on the part of the hospital administration and doctors, stating that she was kept waiting for two hours inside the ambulance before getting admission to the hospital. (ANI)
