The LDF government in Kerala on Monday issued order providing job to the elder sister of a 30-year-old dalit law student who was raped and murdered at her home in Ernakulam district on April 28.

An official release said she was appointed as office assistant at Kunnathunad taluk office.

The LDF ministry that assumed office on May 25 in its first cabinet meeting had taken a decision to take urgent steps to give a job to the victim's sister.

Even though the previous UDF government had taken the decision to give a job, it had not been implemented.

The LDF government had also handed over the probe into the murder to a special team lead by ADGP B Sandhya.

So far the police have failed to make any breakthrough in the case.
