He further said, "I had gone to the spot but the situation was such that we had to come back. I don't know why such incidents happen in this country? One should not politicise the matter and the girl should get justice." The Lok Sabha MP demanded a fair and immediate probe in the matter and said that the culprits should be punished.

The nine-year-old, a resident of Delhi's Cantonment area, was allegedly raped and murdered on Sunday. The issue came to light after the minor girl was cremated without her parents' consent at Old Nangal crematorium after she was found dead there. A priest working at the crematorium, who had pressurized the family to perform the last rites of the dead body, had been charged with murder.

On the recommendations of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes, the four accused, including a 55-year-old priest of the crematorium, have been booked under sections related to rape, murder and threats, and under provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the SC/ST Act.
