CBI seeks Bihar officials’ help
Due to lack of adequate number of investigators, the CBI has requested the Bihar government to provide it with their own probe officials in order to take up the murder of Ranvir Sena supremo Bramheshwar Singh, alias “Mukhiya”.
According to sources the agency has requested Bihar government to provide investigators for initiating probe into the matter at the earliest. Sources said, “The agency has already made it clear that it is willing to probe Mukhiya killing. But, the probe can only be initiated when the Bihar government provides investigators to the CBI.”
“The agency does not have adequate number of investigators as the CBI is investigating several high-profile cases. This is the reason that we requested the Bihar government to provide investigators,” sources clarified. It is true that in certain cases, which require field verification and cross examination, the CBI requests concerned state government to provide investigators, sources said.
The Bihar government had recommended a CBI probe into the June 1 murder of Ranvir Sena supremo. Sources said state government’s recommendation in this connection has already reached the DoPT.
Brahmeshwar Singh, founder of the militia, Ranvir Sena, of big landholders and middle peasants in South Bihar plains, was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Bihar’s Bhojpur district on June 1. Singh was on a morning walk near his house in Ara (Bhojpur) when unidentified assailants shot him.
Sources said, “Recently, the SP government in UP agreed to provide investigating officers to the CBI to complete the ongoing probe into the multi-crore NRHM scam in the state at the earliest. The UP government provided its four deputy SPs and eight inspectors to the CBI for assisting,” sources said.
