Five persons Sushil, Ramesh, Ram Kumar, Devender and Jogender are accused of allegedly gangraping a 30-year-old woman on September 8 in Phugana village during communal riots in Muzaffaranagar and its adjoining districts last year.
SIT had filed a final report in this case earlier and given a clean chit to the accused as the victim had turned hostile.
The case was, however, reopened on the directive of the Supreme Court, which had ordered that statement of the victim should be recorded again before a woman magistrate.
SIT had once again given a clean chit to the accused yesterday citing lack of evidence.
However, the victim's family has said they will challenge the SIT's clean chit in the apex court.
