BHUBANESWAR: The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) on Saturday asked the Odisha government to recommend probe by a central agency into the alleged murder of a 5-year-old girl in Nayagarh in July even as a special investigation team (SIT) investigating the case picked up three persons of a family for interrogation.
In its recommendation sent to chief secretary Asit Tripathy, the NCPCR, said in view of “glaring defects observed by the commission in the investigation” and “the apprehension regarding legitimacy of the investigation by the SIT…..the state government should recommend for investigation by an agency at the central level for an unbiased and objective investigation.”
