Anara case: NCW asks Home Minister to ensure "proper probe"
December 27, 2004
New Delhi - Concerned over allegations of police torture levelled by family
members of main accused in the porn CD case Anara Gupta, National Commission
for Women (NCW) today asked Home Minister Shivraj Patil to enure a "proper
probe", if need be by the CBI, so that their faith in the investigation was
restored.
"As NCW does not have jurisdiction in Jammu and Kashmir and the case is already
in court, we cannot take up a fresh investigation in the matter," NCW
Chairperson Poornima Advani said after Gupta's relatives, including her mother
called on her here.
The former Miss Jammu's relatives had filed a petition before the NCW on
Saturday alleging that she was being "framed" by police who had "illegally"
detained the family for 11 days and urging for the probe to be transferred to
CBI.
"I am writing to the Home Minister to order Jammu and Kashmir Government to
carry out a proper probe. The dignity of the victims is paramount and it is
important that their faith in the investigation is restored," she said.
Advani suggested that the investigation be handed over to "senior most" police
officials. "If this is still not proper, the CBI may be approached," she added.
Claiming that the girl in the porn CD was not Gupta, her mother Rajrani had
submitted two CDs, one of a television programme done by Gupta and the other
containing the obscene shots, to Advani.
"We informed her of 36 points which clearly differentiate my daughter from the
girl in the porn CD," Rajrani later told reporters.
