NEW DELHI, NOV. 22. The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM), Reena Singh Nag, has rejected a request by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to close a case of sexual assault on two minor girls allegedly by two personnel of the Uttar Pradesh police at Pilibhit in the State in 1998. Rejecting the request, the CMM asked the investigating agency to reinvestigate the case in the light of destruction, fabrication and dilution of evidence and threats to prosecution witnesses. The CMM observed that she was of the conscious opinion that the investigating agency had made no progress in the case since the investigation was transferred to it. The Supreme Court had transferred the case to CBI on public interest litigation by a former MLA of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly. In the petition, the then MLA had alleged that the local police had let off the two responsible police personnel and had instead implicated five innocent persons on the basis a forced statement by the victim.
Ms. Nag directed the investigating agency to further probe the case and submit a report to the court by March 5 next year.
