Ameenpur case: Forensic report crucial

HYDERABAD: Weeks after the death of a minor girl who was allegedly raped in an orphanage in Ameenpur, police are still waiting for the toxicology and forensic reports.
The preliminary post-mortem report says that the girl had died of a multiple organ failure. The investigation appears to have hit a wall even as the officials are pinning their hopes on the forensic and toxicology reports, said to be crucial in solving the case. “None of the other children residing in Maruthi Home have come forward with a similar allegation against the accused, who have been arrested. We have received the post-mortem report and are awaiting the FSL report, which is getting delayed,” said S Chandrashekar Reddy, SP, Sangareddy district.
The girl told her aunt about her ordeal months after the alleged assault and the Home keeps footage data for a maximum of a month or two.
D Divya, commissioner, women and child welfare department (WCWD), said the high-power committee interviewed family members of the girl and the children at the orphanage. “The committee will soon submit its report to the department,” she said.
