Shehla Masood murder case: AIIMS forensic experts to visit Bhopal

New Delhi: With no
headway made in the five-month investigation into the murder of RTI activist Shehla Masood, a team of forensic experts from All
India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) is likely to visit
Bhopal to gather and examine clues in the case.
"T.D. Dogra, head of the Forensic Sciences Department of AIIMS
will leave tomorrow or in a day to two to Bhopal. The forensic
expert and his team are likely to visit the spot where the
activist was shot dead by unknown assailants," a hospital source
told IANS.
Masood, an RTI and green activist, was killed outside her home in
Bhopal Aug 16.
"The team from AIIMS is called to gather and examine evidences
gathered by local and central forensic department officials," the
source said.
Masood was shot in the neck while she was starting her car outside
her home in the posh Koh-e-Fiza locality in Bhopal. She was
leaving to lead local protests in support of Anna Hazare's fast
against corruption and for a strong Lokpal bill.
What made the case even more murky was that several high profile
names cropped up during the probe, including those of senior
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, police officers and even the
mining mafia.
Activists claimed that Masood was targeted as she was not only a
green crusader but had also filed several RTI applications in
different departments of the Madhya Pradesh government.
Initially being probed by Madhya Pradesh Police, the case was
handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Sep 5.
However, the premier agency has yet to make any headway.
The investigating agency had announced a reward of Rs.5 lakh in
September for anyone providing information about the murder.
