2012 Sowjanya rape-murder: How the case was botched, why Supreme Court has ordered fresh probe
The Supreme Court ordered a fresh investigation into the 2012 rape and murder of a 17-year-old in Karnataka, after previous probes failed to yield results. The case, which involved three investigating agencies, remains unsolved, with the sole suspect acquitted in June 2023 due to lack of evidence. The new probe must be completed within three months.
