Home Minister Rajnath Singh has said the Centre is willing to allow a CBI probe into the brutal rape and murder of Jisha, a Dalit law student from Kerala.
Jisha was found dead in her home last Thursday, with thirty wounds on her body. According to the postmortem report, her intestines had spilled out of her body. The report suggested that she was beaten savagely with a sharp object.
On 5 May, Union Minister for Social Justice, Thawar Chand Gehlot visited Rajeshwari, Jisha’s mother. He assured her that the government would bring justice to the family.
The minister visited her at the Taluk hospital in Kerala where she is undergoing treatment since the incident.
Ernakulam District Collector MG Rajamanickam has expressed dismay that among the people who visited Jisha’s mother, were a small number of publicity-hungry people.
