Jammu and Kashmir Police chief S P Vaid today said the Crime Branch probing the rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl in Kathua district "has done a commendable job".
The DGP's remarks came a day after he said the police had no objection to a CBI probe into the case.
"The Crime Branch has done a commendable job in investigating the unfortunate rape and murder of the girl. They are very competent," Singh told reporters here.
The Bar Association of Jammu had yesterday claimed that the Crime Branch probe was done on "questionable lines" amid threats and coercion by a team of officers from the Kashmir Valley.
