Rape victim audio leak: Mother seeks probe

THE mother of a rape victim has sought the Madras High Court to order an inquiry into the leak of audio clips pertaining to the investigating officer's inquiry with the victim girl.

She alleged that the woman police inspector, who previously probed the case, thrashed them and threatened them to reach a compromise with the accused person at the police station.

When a habeas corpus petition (HCP) filed by the victim's mother and a suo motu HCP initiated by the court came up for hearing before the division bench of Justices SM Subramaniam and N Mala on Tuesday, her counsel R Sampath Kumar sought the court to issue a direction in this regard.
