NEW DELHI: The Centre and the CBI on Monday told the Supreme Court that it should scrutinise the chargesheet filed by Odisha police into the politically sensitive alleged rape and murder of a five year old girl last year as there are widespread apprehensions in local public mind about the child being killed by mafia indulging in illegal organ harvesting racket.
During the hearing on a writ petition filed by victim s mother Saudamini Sahoo, solicitor general Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre and the CBI, told a bench of Justices A M Khanwilkar and Sanjiv Khanna that even in politically motivated proceedings in 2005 cases relating to fake encounter killings of Sohrabuddin and Tulsiram Prajapati, the SC had decisively intervened after filing of the chargesheet and had ordered fresh probe by the CBI.
