Jammu, April 12: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday said there would be no obstruction of justice in the rape and murder case of an eight-year-old minor in Kathua district.
"The law will not be obstructed by the irresponsible actions and statements of a group of people. Proper procedures are being followed, investigations are on the fast track and justice will be delivered," Mehbooba tweeted.
Her tweet comes after the Jammu Bar Association staged protests against the handling of the case by the Jammu and Kashmir Police Crime Branch. It has also demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe.
Eight people, including the mastermind Sanji Ram, have been charged with abduction, raping and murdering the 'Bakerwal' (nomadic) minor in Kathua's Rasana village in January.
Investigations have revealed that the victim was held in a temple, drugged, repeatedly raped and finally murdered to scare the Bakerwal community out of the village.
Sanji Ram has also been charged with bribing local policemen, including a sub-inspector and a head constable, to destroy vital evidence.

Tumakuru: Ice cream factory owner strangled, electrocuted to 'fake accident'
Tumakuru (Karnataka), May 14 (PTI): An ice cream factory owner was "strangled and later electrocuted" in an attempt to stage his death as an accident, police said on Wednesday.
The incident occurred on May 10 in Kunigal town, where 58-year-old Nagesh, a resident of Timmansandra village, was found dead inside his factory, they added.
Police said the victim’s 21-year-old son, Dhanush, and his friend were arrested in connection with the murder.
The factory owner was "killed" by his son with help from a friend, police added.
Police initially suspected that Nagesh died of electrocution, but CCTV footage from the factory contradicted this, revealing it was a premeditated murder.
Investigations revealed that Nagesh was first strangled with a towel, after which his son and friend electrocuted the body to stage it as an accident.
A murder case has been registered at Kunigal Police Station, and all possible motives are under investigation, police said.
"During interrogation, the accused son claimed his father sexually harassed his sister, which led him to plan the murder. There are also allegations of a property dispute. These claims are still under investigation, and we are probing all possible angles," police said.
