JAMMU: The Centre has no objection to the handing over of the Kathua rape and murder case to the CBI, provided the State Government comes out with a reference, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said today.
“As far as we are concerned, we don’t have any problem or objection to hand over the case to the CBI. If the State Government comes out with a reference, we will hand over the case to the agency today itself,” Singh told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.
He added that the court was another option through which the case could go to the CBI.
“As per my knowledge, a petition (for a CBI probe) is pending there,” he said. (AGENCIES)
