Jodhpur: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will finally submit its report to the Rajasthan High Court in the Bhanwari Devi case on Thursday. The court had given the CBI time till November 24 to investigate the matter of the missing dalit nurse.
The CBI on November 14 approached the court for four weeks time to complete investigations in the case of the missing dalit nurse.
While the court granted the extension to the CBI, it made it clear that the intelligence agency should expedite its investigations.
"People have faith in the CBI, live up to it. The court cannot give indefinite time," the court told the CBI.
Meanwhile, former Rajasthan minister Mahipal Maderna, who is accused of having a hand in her disappearance, is expected to appear for questioning before the CBI.
Maderna skipped questioning since Friday citing health grounds, he was also hospitalised after citing chest pains.
Failing to get any substantial lead in the Bhanwari Devi disappearance, the CBI on November 15 doubled the reward to Rs 10 lakh to anyone providing credible information about the missing nurse.
The move came within the fortnight of announcing a reward of Rs 5 lakh on November 1 even as Rajasthan High Court rapped the agency on November 14 for the slow pace of investigation in the case.
"The information may be given at CBI Camp Office, Circuit House, Jodhpur (Rajasthan) on phone numbers: 09530346277, 09530346277, 02912513315,01124368641. The identity of the informer will be kept confidential," CBI spokesperson said.
Bhanwari Devi has been missing since September 1.
