'Handover British teenager's murder case to CBI' : BJP

New Delhi, Mar 17 (UNI) Dubbing the handling of murder of Scarlette, a British teenager in Goa as 'shameful', the BJP today demanded a CBI inquiry to ''probe deeply'' into the role of politicians and top police officials in supressing the case.

BJP Parliamentary Party spokesman Vijay Kumar Malhotra said that the CBI should not only look into police lapses but also vital link of the drug mafia patrons with the police hierachy as well as political figures since the mother of British teenager had taken the names of Home Minister and State Police Chief.

The Goan police's ham handed'' probe into the teenager's murder sought to be passed on as a suicide was atrocious and the police and the mafia in the tiny state should be sent a stern message that India will not tollerate any mischief against the tourists, he asserted.
