India’s Supreme Court has ordered a fresh investigation into a 2012 rape and murder case near Dharmasthala in Karnataka, The Hindu reported. The court said society would fail in its duty to the victim if it did not ensure a proper investigation and bring the actual perpetrators to justice. The observation was made by the Bench hearing the matter.
The court directed that the probe be completed within three months. It also ordered that the findings be submitted to the court concerned. The available report does not identify the victim, describe the circumstances of the alleged crime or state which agency will conduct the fresh investigation.
It also does not provide details of any earlier investigation or identify suspects. The order therefore requires the case to be examined again, with the stated aim of establishing responsibility for the crime.
