Sakinaka rape, murder: NCW, NCSC teams visit victim kin; suggestions given for daughters’ rehabilitation

Devi told The Indian Express, “The minor daughters are entitled to get Rs 10 lakh as compensation under the Nirbhaya fund. The money will be given in their bank accounts. Proper education also needs to be provided to both the girls, and if possible, they should be rehabilitated to some other place with a good environment for their overall development. We will be mentioning all these recommendations in our report that will be submitted to the central government.”

NCSC vice-chairman Arun Haldar visited senior Mumbai Police officials and the victim’s family.

Haldar later told mediapersons that senior Mumbai Police officials told him they would file the chargesheet within a month, and that they have concrete evidence against the accused and will push for death penalty.

Haldar told The Indian Express, “I asked them to add charges under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. I have asked the state’s social welfare department to ensure they pay for the education of the two daughters till graduation, give them accommodation and one family member a government job. Apart from this, under the Atrocities Act they will get Rs 4.25 lakh compensation from the social welfare department immediately and another Rs 4.25 lakh after filing of the chargesheet. The money will be given in the bank account of the daughters, who will be able to use it after 18 years of age.”
