Swift Action in Wardha's Heinous Murder Case; Charge Sheet Filed in Just 28 Days
Wardha: A heinous incident involving the sexual assault and strangulation murder of a mere 12-year-old girl had sparked massive outrage across the district. The crime took place on July 15 in a farmhouse in Rotha (Taluka Wardha), within the jurisdiction of the Sawangi Police Station. A case was registered under Sections 4, 8, and 10 of the POCSO Act, along with other relevant sections. The police arrested the accused, Rahul Raju Madavi (30, resident of Rotha).
Recognizing the gravity of the crime, Superintendent of Police Saurabh Kumar Agrawal constituted a special investigation team. The investigation proceeded rapidly under the leadership of Sub-Divisional Police Officer Sunil Mahadik and the daily supervision of Additional Superintendent of Police Sadashiv Waghmare.
Guardian Minister Dr. Pankaj Bhoyar apprised Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis of the matter. The Chief Minister directed the Secretary of the Law and Judiciary Department to take immediate action. Demands were also made for the case to be heard in a fast-track court and for the appointment of a special public prosecutor.
As a result of these concerted efforts, a charge sheet supported by strong evidence was submitted to the court against the accused on August 12. With the charge sheet filed in just 28 days, the path is now clear for an early commencement of the trial. There is an expectation that the victim's family will receive justice soon.
The police traced the accused by questioning local farm owners and laborers. Since the crime occurred at a location away from the main road, the initial lead suggested that the accused was someone known to the victims.
