The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday has announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh to anyone from general public for providing credible information resulting in arrest of real culprits in Shimla rape and murder of a minor girl.

"The information can be given to the CBI over mobile numbers +919650394782 (Deputy SP, SC-I, CBI); 8219885920, 8219893590 (local numbers of Himachal Pradesh office); Landline numbers 011-24368637, 24368640 (SP, SC-I, CBI, Lodhi Road, New Delhi-), Mobile -9870530011 and email [email protected]. The name and details of the informant will be kept secret," CBI spokesperson Abhishek Dayal said.

Earlier, CBI had arrested IG Zaidi, deputy superintendent of police (DSP) Manoj Joshi, sub-inspector (SI) Rajinder Singh, assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Deep Chand Sharma, head constables Surat Singh, Mohan Lal, Rafiq Ali and Ranjit Singh last Tuesday, and taken them to New Delhi.

The CBI registered two cases on the direction of the Himachal Pradesh High Court in July this year to probe the rape-and-murder of the 16-year-old girl and the second related to the custodial death of an accused, Suraj Singh, arrested by the Himachal Pradesh Police.

The girl, a Class X student, had gone missing on July 4 and her naked body was recovered from Haliala forests in Kotkhai on July 6.

The accused had lured her into the vehicle by offering a lift. They then took turns to rape her before the murder. Her body was found at a nearby forest two days later. Police have arrested all six people involved in the crime.

The accused were farm labourers, aged between 19 and 42 years, and settled in Kotkhai area. The police described the crime as a "blind rape-murder case".

The rape case created outrage in the state which went to the assembly polls last month.
