Kathua rape: BJP leader walks barefoot for 5 hours for CBI probe; updates


Since his resignation as a minister in April, BJP leader Lal Singh has organised multiple rallies, candlelight marches and protests to demand a CBI probe into the Kathua case


Current Affairs News: Lal Singh, senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former minister in the Mehbooba Mufti-led Jammu and Kashmir government, took out a rally on Sunday to demand a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the rape and murder of the eight-year-old girl in Kathua district. Singh walked barefoot for around five hours after which he got in a vehicle as he developed blisters on his feet.

BJP leaders Singh and Chander Prakash Ganga had found themselves in a controversy after they took part in a rally organised by the Hindu Ekta Manch in January in support of the accused in the case, following which they had to resign from the Mehbooba Mufti Cabinet.

Meanwhile, a report by the Central Forensic Sciences Laboratory (CFSL) has revealed that the signatures of Vishal Jangotra, who is a key accused in the Kathua rape and murder case, at his examination centre in Meerut were forged.
Jangotra had claimed that he was writing his exams in Meerut when the rape incident had allegedly taken place in January.

Former minister and senior BJP leader Lal Singh led a massive rally from Lakhanpur to Hiranagar in Kathua district on Sunday to press for a CBI investigation into the Kathua rape-murder case.

Pressing his demand, Singh walked barefoot for almost five hours.
Singh, along with Ganga, had to resign from the Mufti-led J&K government after they were surrounded by controversy for participating in a rally organised in support of the eight accused in the case.

Since his resignation from the government, Lal Singh has organised several candle-light marches, protests, and rallies demanding a CBI probe into the Kathua case. This recent rally comes after a candlelight march that Singh had taken out from Gandhi Nagar to Satwari Chowk on May 15.
