The CBI team, which has been camping in Hathras for last two days after registering the case, has collected all the case related documents from the Uttar Pradesh Police.
The team has also collected the medical records of the victim.
The CBI registered a case on Sunday under Sections 376D (gang rape), 307 (attempt to murder), 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, a day after it received a central notification issued on a request by the Uttar Pradesh government.
The agency said that it had constituted a special team to probe the case, which led to the widespread criticism of the state government after the victim was hurriedly cremated by Hathras police on the intervening night of September 29-30.
The woman had died at a Delhi hospital on September 29, a day after she was rushed to the Safdarjung hospital from the Aligarh Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College as her condition deteriorated.
She was rushed to the Aligarh college immediately after the attack and could only give police a statement after a week.
