New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Jammu and Kashmir government to provide security to the family of the eight-year-old girl who gang raped before being killed in Kathua, the lawyer and a family friend assisting them in pursuing the case. The apex court’s order came after a plea by the victim's father seeking transfer of the trial of the case from Kathua, preferably to Chandigarh and sought response of the state government. During the hearing, the victim's father expressed satisfaction with the probe so far, conducted by Jammu and Kashmir Police and opposed the plea for CBI investigation demanded by others. The court heard two separate petitions, including the one filed by Kathua-based lawyer Deepika Singh Rajawat, representing the family of an eight-year-old girl who was gangraped and killed, alleging that she was facing threat to her life for pursuing the matter. The other plea was filed by Delhi-based lawyer Anuja Kapur, who asked to transfer of the sensational case from Kathua trial court to a court in the national capital. Kapur also sought transfer of probe to the CBI, besides seeking exemplary compensation to the family of the victim of the case. A bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud asked the state police to provide adequate security at the observation home where a juvenile accused has been kept and fixed the next date of hearing on April 27. The bench said those policemen providing security to the victim's family and others will be in plain clothes. Meanwhile, Jammu Police have registered a case against eight lawyers for allegedly obstructing the filing of chargesheet in the Kathua rape and murder case. They have been charged with obstructing government servants from doing their work. The eight people accused in the case pleaded not guilty on Monday and asked the district and sessions judge for a narco test. As the trial in the case began, the district and sessions judge asked the state Crime Branch to give copies of the chargesheet to the accused and fixed April 28 as the next date of hearing.
