We will investigate further from all angles including rape. The family has not alleged rape in the FIR. We will nab the culprits soon. No arrests have been made so far."

'So far no arrests have been made'

SP of Siwan Naveen Chandra Jha said, "I have not received the post-mortem report but I have spoken to the doctors who said that there is no external injury on the body and it's not a case of rape. So far no arrests have been made. We are trying to nab the culprits. I will get a copy of the post-mortem report on Monday."

So far no arrests have been made in both the case. In the past one week, 4 dead bodies of young women have been recovered. Police have not been able to identify the family members of the charred body recovered from Buxar and Samastipur, neither has anyone claimed the bodies. Two days ago in Darbhanga, a 5-year-old girl was raped by an autorickshaw driver of her village. These cases suggest that the atrocities against women in Nitish Kumar's 'Raj' have risen which puts a question mark on his USP of 'rule of law' and law & order situation in Bihar.
