Yogi sets up SIT to re-investigate murder of Kho-Kho player

BIJNOR (UP): UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has ordered the setting up of a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the case of rape and murder of a national level Kho-Kho player. This comes days after the police said that the national-level player's rape and murder case had been solved.

The victim's family alleged the 24-year-old athlete was raped and killed, while the police have said it was a case of 'murder and attempt to rape'. The family of the Dalit woman, who was killed and brutalised on September 10 when she was on her way home from a job interview, met Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, during an event in Bijnor on Tuesday to seek a re-investigation.

"The Chief Minister promised them protection and sanctioned Rs 5 lakh for the family of the deceased," said Moradabad DIG Shalabh Mathur. (IANS)
