The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Wednesday submitted a fresh report to the High Court regarding the rape and murder of a 16-year-old girl at Kotkhai stating that the agency is yet to resolve the case and needs more time.

A special high court bench comprising acting Chief Justice Sanjay Karol and Justice Sandeep Sharma allowed the agency to complete the investigation and submit its report on March 28.

According to CBI insiders, the agency did not get enough cooperation from the state government during the investigation.

The incident which took place in July created a huge uproar in the state.
