As per the source, it has been more than a week since the case has been handed over to the Special Crime Branch, CBI Kolkata.
The FIR filed by Manipur Police and the post-mortem reports have been analysed.
As per the rule, an official notice just needs to be released stating that the case is going to be handled by Special Crime Branch.
Regarding this, if the DGP and Chief Secretary of Manipur put pressure, then the investigation might start in a day or two.
The case was handed over to CBI since it is in public interest, said the source.
It is also worth mentioning that there have been continuous agitations and bandhs by JAC and people of Manipur for the handing over of the case to CBI.
Even the father of late Babysana has expressed willingness to give his statement if the CBI is involved.
The entire state has been in a chaotic situation and regular functioning of various educational institutions has been disturbed all this while.
The news of CBI finally handling the case might bring back the normalcy of the state with the hope that justice will be served.
