"The state government had earlier formed Special Investigation team and later, I personally wrote a letter to the Prime Minister to get conducted CBI inquiry in this case", said the Chief Minister, asking,  that  what more  he could have done. It is after the end of trial that punishment or justice is to be decided by the courts, he added.The matter was also being flared up and politicized by the BJP, he said.  To play politics on death of a minor girl was shameful, as her soul also won't be able to rest in peace, he said. "I am sincerely committed to bring the criminals to book and want them to be hanged for the heinous crime they have committed", said Virbhadra Singh.He said that the media should also restrain from exaggerating this issue keeping in view the sensitivity of this case which was one of the rarest. The law and enforcement agencies are on job and very soon, the truth would be out, said Chief Minister.
