The family members of a 20-year-old Dalit girl who was allegedly gang-raped and murdered in Bikaner have refused to accept the body and are demanding the arrest of the accused, officials said on Thursday.
Three persons, including two police constables, have been accused of the rape, police said. On Wednesday, the family members of the victim refused to grant consent to conduct a post-mortem examination and held a dharna outside the police station.
Later, they allowed the post-mortem on assurance of investigation of the case by an SIT, compensation of Rs 10 lakh from the state government and Rs 15 lakh from social organisations, and a contractual job to one family member.
However, the family members refused to accept the body on Thursday demanding arrest of the accused. Bikaner IG Om Prakash said that police officials were talking to the family members present at the hospital to accept the body.
