An Indian court has rejected a federal police report which had ruled that two teenage girls found hanging from a tree in India last year took their own lives and were not gang-raped and murdered.
According to BBC News, the police report said the girls killed themselves “out of shame” after one of the sisters was seen with a boy. But the girls’ parents had accused the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) of “trying to fudge the case”.
The lower-caste cousins, thought to have been 14 and 15, were found hanged from a mango tree on May 28th, 2014 in Uttar Pradesh.
The initial reports that the girls had been gang-raped and murdered by a group of men from the same village sparked global outrage.
