Fresh contradictions have emerged in the rape case against an Indian Army officer who is accused of raping a woman and molesting her child in Jammu and Kashmir.

Yesterday, the DNA test report of Major Rehman had virtually cleared him.

But now NDTV has learnt that a magisterial inquiry ordered into the case in Handwara claims that the Major is still guilty of rape.

This report was submitted to the state government last month.

On Tuesday, a police report submitted to the Chief Judicial Magistrate of Handwara also found Major Rehman guilty of the rape charges.

"Police has completed its investigation and has proved rape has taken place," said Khursheed Ganai, divisional commissioner, Kashmir.

'Not conclusive'

"Now it is for the court to decide. DNA is an important piece of evidence but it is not total evidence," Ganai said. (What a joker)

Major Rehman is currently facing court martial proceedings in Uri on charges of raping a Kashmiri woman and her 10-year-old daughter in Handwara in north Kashmir in November last year.

Though yesterday his DNA report gave a negative result, the army has said the court martial against Major Rehman will continue.
