Srinagar : Condemning the incident of rape and murder of eight-year-old in Kathua district, Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police (DGP) S. P. Vaid on Friday said that it couldn't get worse than this.

"It is a very heinous crime; it can't get worse than this. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has done a very professional job and filed the charge sheet. Now we hope that justice will be done," Vaid told ANI.
