Bhopal: The CBI probe
into Madhya Pradesh RTI activist Shehla Masood's murder has hinted
at arrested woman architect Zahida Parvez being the brain behind
the killing as she was jealous of Masood's alleged friendship with
a legislator, sources said Sunday.
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) sleuths who recovered four
personal diaries written by Zahida Parvez, 35, between 2009 and
2012, claimed that she was "obsessed" with Bharatiya Janata
Party's Bhopal legislator Dhruv Narayan Singh.
According to sources, Zahida Parvez, a mother of two, wrote in a
diary that she would either commit suicide or kill Shehla Masood,
whose alleged proximity to the legislator did not go down well
with her.
Sources said investigators had found several porn CDs and a hidden
camera from the office of Zahida Parvez. Her husband Asad Parvez
owns petrol pumps in Bhopal.
Sources said Zahida Parvez used her husband's employees to keep an
eye on the legislator.
It was during this surveillance that Zahida Parvez came to know
that Dhruv Narayan Singh used to visit Shehla Masood's home.
Shehla Masood, 32, was shot dead in front of her house here Aug 16
last year. The CBI took over the case three weeks after the
murder.
Zahida Parvez, her friend Saba Farooqui and Shaqib, an alleged
criminal who arranged the contract killers for murdering Shehla
Masood, are being questioned by the CBI.
Sources said Saba Farooqui helped Zahida Parvez get "close" to the
legislator.
The legislator and his close aide Sanjay Gupta, a builder, were
questioned by the CBI Saturday.
The Bhopal legislator was chairman of the Madhya Pradesh State
Tourism Development Corporation (MPSTDC) till May last year.
The probe agency found that Zahida Parvez used to get several
contracts from the MPSTDC because of her good terms with the
legislator.
Sources said investigators were also looking into leads that the
legislator helped her get Rs.1.5 crore to establish her business.
According to the probe agency, Zahida Parvez, with the help of
Shaqib, contacted contract killers Irfan Ali and Salim Olanga of
Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh to murder Shehla Masood. Ali was arrested
in Kanpur. Olanga is dead.
The CBI Saturday recovered from a vehicle showroom here a car
which was exchanged two weeks back by Zahida Parvez to allegedly
give money to the suspected contract killers. The car is
registered in the name of her husband.
