in the minds of the victims about a fair probe in the case and whether such a statement can be a part of freedom of speech and expression.<\/p>\n<p>The man, whose wife and daughter were gangraped last month on a highway in Bulandshahr, had on August 13 moved the apex court seeking transfer of the case to Delhi, besides lodging of an FIR against Khan as well as several policemen.<\/p>\n<p>The brutal incident had happened on the night of July 29 when a group of highway robbers stopped the car of a Noida- based family and sexually assaulted the woman and her daughter after dragging them out of the vehicle which had four other occupants.<\/p>\n<p>The Allahabad High Court had ordered CBI probe into the incident besides deciding to monitor the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>In the plea filed in the apex court through lawyer Kislay Pandey, the victim&#8217;s father sought an order for transferring the trial of the case to Delhi &#8220;in the interest of justice&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Unhappy with the UP police, the petitioner said the probe should be conducted by &#8220;some other competent agency&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to Khan&#8217;s alleged controversial remark that there was a &#8220;political conspiracy&#8221;
