The Central Bureau of Investigation team, probing murder of Kunda Deputy Superintendent of Police Zia-ul Haq, on Tuesday recovered the motorcycle, which was allegedly used in the murder of Balipur village head Nanhe Yadav.
The Uttar Pradesh government on Wednesday transferred the entire staff of the four police stations (103 policemen) of Kunda sub division after a request was made by the Central Bureau of Investigation, which apprehended that "some police officials were close to influential people and could affect the probe".
Taking its probe to the doorsteps of former Uttar Pradesh minister Raghuraj Pratap Singh, the Central Bureau of Investigation on Saturday questioned his cousin and member of state legislative council Akshay Pratap Singh in connection with the violence in Balipur village in which Deputy Superintendent of Police Zia-ul-Haq was killed.
In a major breakthrough, police on Saturday claimed to have recovered the service revolver of slain Kunda Circle Officer Zia-ul-Haque.
Two close aides of former Uttar Pradesh minister Raghuraj Pratap Singh were remanded in Central Bureau of Investigation custody till March 18 by the agency court in Lucknow in connection with the murder case of Kunda Deputy Superintendent of police Zia-Ul-Haq.
The Central Bureau of Investigation is not likely to press any charge against former Uttar Pradesh minister Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiya in its chargesheet in connection with violence in Balipur village of Pratapgarh in which Deputy Superintendent of Police Zia-Ul Haq and village head Nanhe Yadav were allegedly murdered.
CBI sources said 44-year old Raja Bhaiya, who is prime accused in the FIR registered by Kunda DSP Zia-ul-Haq's wife Parveen Azar, has been summoned by the agency for questioning in connection with the larger conspiracy related to the murder of Balipur village head Nanhe Yadav.
Uttar Pradesh Police officer Zia-ul-Haq was apparently murdered by a mob in Balipur which was angry after the killing of village head Nanhe Yadav, the Central Bureau of Investigation has said.
A ten-member CBI team, headed by a DIG-level officer, visited a village in Uttar Pradesh's Pratapgarh district in connection with the probe into the killings of a police officer and two others there last week.
The Central Bureau of Investigation on Thursday moved an application in a special court in Lucknow, seeking permission to conduct lie detection test on former minister Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiya in connection with killing of Kunda Deputy Superintendent of police Zia-ul-Haq.
Former Uttar Pradesh minister Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiya on Tuesday gave his consent for a lie-detection test in connection with the murder case of Kunda Deputy Superintendent of Police Zia-ul-Haq.
A special Central Bureau of Investigation court on Tuesday rejected the agency's closure report giving clean chit to controversial minister Raja Bhaiyya in Kunda Deputy Superintendent of Police, Zia-ul-Haq's murder case, and directed it to further investigate the matter.
The Central Bureau of Investigation may give a clean chit to former Uttar Pradesh Minister Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiyya in the murder of Kunda Deputy Superintendent of Police Zia-ul-Haq as it has not found any anomaly in the lie detector test conducted on him.
