Thiruvananthapuram:  Stoking a controversy, Union Home minister Rajnath Singh on Friday alleged that the Congress-led UDF government in Kerala was trying to “cover up” the brutal rape and murder of a Dalit law student even as the Centre expressed willingness to order a CBI probe into the incident.

“The rape and murder indicate that the Kerala government was trying to cover up the incident as it took days to register the case,” Singh, who is on a two-day visit to the state for campaigning in the May 16 assembly polls, said.

Addressing a series of election rallies in the state, Singh said there should be a CBI probe into the case.

 “There should be a CBI probe into the case,” he said, adding that the Centre was ready to order a CBI probe on the state’s recommendation. The shocking case is being described as “Kerala’s Nirbhaya” for the chilling similarity to the Delhi rape case of 2012.
