Jodhpur:
Moved by the plight of Bhanwari Devi's children, AP Singh, Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), has requested the Rajasthan Director General of Police (DGP) to ensure every possible help to them.
Bhanwari Devi, who was allegedly murdered near Jodhpur at the behest of a politician, has two daughters and a son.
Her youngest daughter, who's seven years old, has been entangled in a paternity suit while the older 15-year-old daughter has been rusticated from school for being absent for nearly three months. Her eldest son has stopped going to college as he has had to make endless rounds of courts and police stations since the arrest of his father. The children are surviving on the meager salary of their 70-yr-old grandmother, Pooni Devi.
When their misery was reported in the media, senior officials took a personal initiative to extend every possible help to the family so that the case do not affect the children's education and lives.
CBI chief Mr Singh spoke to the state DGP, who has assured that the three children would be looked after.
Meanwhile, CBI will facilitate the Rajasthan Police and the Maharashtra Police personnel for their help in the investigation of Bhanwari Devi abduction and murder case.
The agency has planned a simple function for the officials of both the state police at its headquarters in New Delhi where the CBI Director may distribute reward money announced for key accused Bisna Ram.
