Andhra Pradesh: Tribal girl died in 2017, 7 year old case came into discussion again; Will CBI investigate now?

News Topical, Digital Desk : The Andhra Pradesh government has decided to once again send the case of the mysterious death of a 15-year-old tribal girl in 2017 for CBI investigation.

This is the same case in which the girl's family said from the beginning that their daughter was murdered and raped, while the authorities called it a suicide.

When did the death occur?

The girl died on August 19, 2017. She was studying in a school hostel in Kurnool district and her body was found in the same hostel room.

The school administration immediately declared it a suicide, but the investigation committee formed later exposed many irregularities and negligence in the investigation. After this, the family started demanding justice loudly.

No concrete result came out in the police investigation

First the police investigated, but nothing concrete came out. Then a Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed, but even there the family did not get a satisfactory answer. Frustrated with the continuous failed investigations, the family, along with human rights organizations, intensified the demand for a CBI investigation.

In February 2020, the state government had also recommended a CBI inquiry, but at that time the CBI refused, saying that there was no interstate or international aspect to the case. The family was forced to approach the Andhra Pradesh High Court and appealed to hand over the investigation to the CBI.

Will CBI investigate now?

Now the state government has once again decided to hand over the case to the CBI. This step is believed to have been taken after continuous pressure from the family, social organizations and local leaders.
