Lucknow, June 13 (IANS) Chief Minister Mayawati has ordered a police probe into the alleged rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl who was found hanging from a tree inside a police station compound in Uttar Pradesh. Criminal cases have been registered against three policemen.

 
 Mayawati late Sunday also ordered a second autopsy of the victim's body after allegations that the earlier post-mortem report was doctored by policemen who called it a case of "suicide".
 
 "The case has been handed over to the crime branch of the crime investigation department (CID) and they have been asked to submit their report within a week's time," divisional commissioner Prashant Trivedi told reporters in Lakhimpur-Kheri Monday.
 
 The victim's body was found hanging at the Nighasan police station in Lakhimpur-Kheri district, 130 km from Lucknow, Friday night. She was residing in hutmets raised in one corner of the police station compound where her father was engaged as a construction labourer.
 
 Eleven policemen were suspended for their prima facie "dereliction of duty". Now criminal cases have been registered against a sub-inspector and two constables for "destruction of evidence".
 
 The Mayawati administration has come under fire from different political quarters, specially as the girl's father, Intezar Ali, has pointedly accused policemen of having gangraped and murdered the girl.
 
 Following this, divisional commissioner Trivedi and zonal inspector general of police Subesh Kumar Singh were rushed to Lakhimpur-Kheri.
 
 The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) is reported to have sent its own team from Delhi to probe the matter.
