Badaun case: If justice is not done, we'll commit suicide, says family

After the CBI found no evidence of murder or sexual assault in its probe into the death of the two Badaun girls, family members of the two teenage cousins on Thursday said they will move the Supreme Court and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for justice.

Piqued over the CBI report, the family members of the two girls whose bodies were found hanging from a tree in Badaun district in May, said they would petition the Supreme Court and the PM and if justice was not done they would commit suicide.

“Our girls cannot commit suicide. We will take the issue before the Supreme Court and the Prime Minister. If justice is not done then we will commit suicide,” father of one of the two girls said.

The CBI probe into the death of the two teenage cousins has concluded that they committed suicide, debunking allegations that the girls were gang-raped and murdered.

“Based on around 40 scientific reports, CBI has concluded that the two minor girls in the Badaun case had not been raped and murdered as had been alleged in the FIR. Investigation has concluded that it is a case of suicide,” CBI spokesperson Kanchan Prasad said.

CBI, which took over the investigation in June, said there was no evidence of murder and sexual assault on the girls. The agency is likely to file its final report on Friday at Badaun court.
