Nayagarh: Hours after Arun Bothra, the chief of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) investigating the ‘rape and murder’ of the five-year-old girl at Jadupur in Nayagarh district, clarified that bones of the deceased girl are not missing, mother of the victim alleged that the SIT head is making cock and bull stories to shield the real culprit.

She claimed that 75 per cent bones of her daughter are missing. "The cops have found 12 pieces of bones along with the skull. Our body has 206 bones; so, where are the other bones. The SIT is making stories just to save the actual criminal. Babuli Nayak and his gang are involved in the crime," she alleged.

The deceased girl's mother further claimed that her daughter was murdered for organ trade and the SIT should investigate that angle.

Demanding CBI inquiry into the case, she reiterated that Saroj (who has been arrested as the prime accused in the case) is not involved in the crime.

“No bones of the deceased girl are missing. The post-mortem report has no mention of any missing bone, and the doctors too have corroborated the same.”

Meanwhile, asked as to why the police sniffer dogs failed to trace the decomposed body by following the trail of the stench, Bothra said, “The SIT hasn’t used dog squad. So I cannot comment on dog squad.”

“The towel, which Saroj used to clean blood stains after killing the 5-year-old girl, has been sent to laboratory for testing. The accused had washed the towel several times but bloodstains were found. The towel and leggings are major evidence in the case,” he added.
