Sanji Ram, the mastermind of the Kathua Rape Case, has reportedly told investigators that he planned the killing of the 8-year-old girl after learning that his son had raped the victim too.
Jammu and Kashmir, April 27: Sanji Ram, the mastermind of the Kathua Rape Case, that shook the conscience of the nation, has reportedly told investigators that he planned the killing of the 8-year-old girl who was raped by his nephew and son to achieve the twin motive to scare the Bakherwal tribe from Hindu colonies and to save his son after learning from his nephew that his son had also raped the girl in a temple or “Devasthan”.
According to news reports coming in, Sanji Ram is reported to have claimed to the CBI that he learnt about the rape on the fourth day since abducting the girl. Sanji Ram’s nephew told him later that he had raped the girl the very day she was abducted and sedated through cannabis extract.
Reportedly, it was his nephew’s confession that he and his son had raped the girl that gave Sanji Ram the motivation to kill the girl. He initially contacted his friend to get a car so that he could dispose of the body of the girl after he had instructed his nephew and son to kill the girl so that her body could be disposed of in a canal. But after his friend refused, he ordered them to leave the body in the forest.
The body of the victim was found on January 17 in a forest area. The Crime Branch has also charged two policemen, a sub-inspector and a head constable who was paid Rs 4 lakh by Sanji Ram to destroy evidence in the heart-wrenching crime. The drug used by the accused to sedate the victim was a variety of cannabis said, investigators.
