Amarchand, husband of Bhanwari Devi, is likely to turn an approver in the missing case of the 36-year-old Jodhpur’s auxiliary nurse-cum-folk singer.
Sources in the agency on Thursday said Amarchand, arrested for his alleged non-cooperation and suspected role in the conspiracy, may turn approver in the case. The agency is now planning to question former Rajasthan minister Mahipal Maderna in the presence of Amrachand. Maderna was arrested by the CBI on December 2.
“The agency is also planning to question former Congress MLA Malkhan Singh, arrested by the agency on December 19, in the presence of Amarchand. Amarchand knows about the conspiracy behind Bhanwari’s abduction and suspected murder”, sources said.
Farooq, driver of Bhanwari, has already turned a prosecution witness in the case. The CBI officials recently recorded his statement under 164 of the CrPC, which will be considered as evidence in the court. The probe has revealed that the conspiracy to kidnap and eliminate the folk singer was hatched on August 8 in Jodhpur. Amarchand also told his interrogators that the accused hatched the conspiracy to eliminate Devi on August 8, sources said.
