MUMBAI, March 31 -- Following the February 10 order from the high court, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has taken over the investigation into the unnatural death of a 13-year-old schoolgirl from Vasai who was allegedly raped and murdered in 2010. The CBI on Thursday re-registered a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The case was earlier registered in August 2010 by the Vasai police for investigating the suspected rape and murder. The incident took place on August 27, 2010, when the minor went for a Scout-Guide camp organised by her school in Tungareshwar forest near Navghar. Around 1:30 pm the minor and other students were playing in the streams when the heavy rains left the current too strong to navigate. While other students managed to swim out of the water, the minor got carried away and went missing. Two hours later, their teacher was informed that the missing minor's body was spotted downstream. The post-mortem indicated the possibility of sexual assault while the probable cause of death was a 'head injury'. Based on the post-mortem report, the Manikpur police registered a murder case and three days later added sections related to sexual assault. However, when the police consulted the JJ Hospital again, they said that there was no evidence of sexual assault and that the injuries may have been caused after the minor got carried along with the strong current of the water. Dissatisfie d with the police investigation, the minor's father approached the Bombay High Court asking the court to transfer the probe to an independent agency. The high court on March 23, 2011, transferred the probe to the state CID. The court held that the prosecution could not explain the injuries sustained by the deceased on her private parts and that the death of the minor was either the result of "a freak accident" or "a diabolic crime." However, the CID also later concluded that "no offence was made out" and filed a closure report in a Vasai judicial magistrate's court on June 11, 2013. The deceased's father then approached the high court again, but his plea was dismissed. The court however, allowed him to challenge the closure report. Once the magistrate court rejected the CID's report the father approached the high court for transfer of the probe. "There are too many loose ends in the investigation and they proceeded only on the premise of accidental death. They had not even considered the serious possibility of the offence being of rape with murder," the court said. "Track pants worn by her were found but the other clothes were not recovered. No efforts were made to search the person who had first seen the dead body," the high court added and transferred the case to the central agency....
