The father, who is in hospital, had claimed on Wednesday that the accused had snatched her daughter's body at gunpoint and cremated her.

The girl's parents have been alleging that they were threatened with dire consequences if they reported the matter to the police.

The CBI team is also likely to visit the house of the prime accused where the crime was perpetrated, the officer said.

The girl, a student of class 9, died after she was allegedly gang-raped at a party in that house on April 4. The prime accused is the son of a TMC panchayat member, her family claimed.
