Nayagarh, Feb 19: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Odisha Police probing the Nayagarh minor girl abduction and murder case got another jolt as the Children's Court here rejected its application seeking Lower Voice Analysis (LVA) test of the accused.
The SIT headed by senior IPSa Arun Bothra has also withdrawn its application of reopening of the chargesheet filed in the case earlier. The SIT had intended to make some additions to the charge-sheet.
It may be noted that the SIT’s application for conducting narco-analysis test on the arrested 17-year-old minor boy had been rejected by the Juvenile Justice Board earlier.
New Delhi, Dec 6: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said that the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill, 2023 and Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill, 2023 will give justice to those who were deprived of their rights for the last 70 years.
Speaking on two Bills in the Lok Sabha, Shah said, "The Bill that I have brought here pertains to bringing justice to and providing rights to those against whom injustice was done, who were insulted and those who were ignored."
He said that in any society, those who are deprived should be brought forward and that is the basic sense of the Constitution of India.
"But they have to be brought forward in a way that doesn't reduce their respect. There is a huge difference between giving rights and giving rights respectfully. So, instead of a weak and deprived category, renaming it to Other Backward Class (OBC) is important," the Minister said.
