MUZAFFARPUR: A special CBI court in Muzaffarpur on Friday asked the central investigating agency to file status report in the much highlighted Navruna missing case.
While hearing the case, CBI special judge U M Tripathi directed the investigating agency to file the status report in the case on or before September 27 when the case would be taken up for hearing.
Navruna, then a 13-year-old girl, had gone missing from her Jawaharlal Road residence under the Town police station area on the intervening night of September 17 and 18, 2012. Later, a skeleton was recovered from a roadside drain. It was suspected to be of Navruna.
Ranjana Kumari, the counsel of Navruna’s father Atulya Chakravarty, submitted before the court, “It’s astonishing that the CBI officials have been skipping the court for the last six consecutive dates. The investigating agency has failed so far to file the status report in the case as well.”
The Supreme Court, which is monitoring the case, has given three-month deadline to the CBI to submit the final report in the case. The extension was granted on the request of the investigating agency during hearing of the case on August 21 on technical grounds, Chakravarty’s counsel in the Supreme Court, P Mishra, said.
Mishra said the CBI had filed a petition in the Supreme Court requesting for extension of the deadline. The court has already extended deadlines seven times in the past. Apparently angered over the slow pace of investigation, the court asked the CBI how much time it needed to conclude the investigation.
The case was handed over to the CBI in February 2014 on the Supreme Court directive after the local police and state CID failed to unravel the mystery behind the missing of the minor girl. The NDA test of the skeleton had confirmed that it belonged to Navruna.
