The judicial commission that probed the alleged gangrape and suicide of a minor girl at Kunduli in Odisha's Koraput district, said the incident was a mystery and suggested further investigation.
The one-man commission of Koraput district & sessions judge B K Mishra in his report could not confirm if the girl was actually raped as alleged and the reason behind her committing suicide before completion of investigation.
The 14-year-old girl was allegedly raped by four men in uniform while she was returning home from a market on October 10, 2017. While the police had claimed that she was not raped, the girl on December 29 had alleged that senior police officers had tried to influence her and even offered money to withdraw the case.
The state government had ordered a judicial probe into the incident on December 26, 2017. She committed suicide on January 22 last year by hanging herself.
The panel's report tabled in the Assembly on Saturday "did not rule out possibility of false implication in the case because of the fact of personal transgression and avoidance of further embarrassment of a situation best known to the deceased victim."
