CBI faces problem to exhume Badaun rape victims' bodies
New Delhi, July 20 (IBNS): The Central Beurau of Investigation (CBI's) effort of exhuming the bodies of two sisters of Badaun in Uttar Pradesh, who were allegedly raped and then hanged from a tree, suffered a major jolt on Sunday due to the rise in water levels of Ganga.
According to reports, the investigating agency officials are finding it difficult to locate the bodies as the rise in water levels submerged the graves.
The bodies were likely to be exhumed for fresh autopsy at the advice of doctors.
Meanwhile, the CBI has recorded the statement of doctors who conducted the first autopsy and found that they did not have the necessary experience, reports said.
Earlier it has found inconsistencies in the statements of the relatives of the victims. The agency had reportedly conducted the polygraph tests on the father and uncle of the deceased on Saturday night.
A team of 20 Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officials led by a Deputy Inspector General (DIG) had reached Uttar Pradesh from New Delhi last month to start its investigation into the Badaun gangrape and murder case.
Two Dalit minor sisters were allegedly gangraped and then hanged from a tree at Katra village in Badaun district on May 27.
The cousin sisters, aged 14 and 15 respectively, were reportedly missing since May 27 night.
