Lucknow: The CBI
Thursday named former Uttar Pradesh minister Raghuraj Pratap Singh
alias Raja Bhaiyya as an accused in the murder of deputy
superintendent of police (DSP) Zia-ul-Haq, based on the complaint
of his widow Parveen Azad, as it filed four FIRs in the case,
officials said.
This is in addition to the charges of criminal conspiracy, which
the state police had slapped on Raja Bhaiyya last Sunday after
Parveen alleged that the former minister, an Independent
legislator from Kunda, had conspired to kill her husband.
Officials said that with the charges converted to murder under
section 302 of the IPC, the arrest of Raja Bhaiyya was now
imminent and the CBI team investigating the matter could
interrogate him and then arrest him.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had late Wednesday night
taken over the sensational case and Thursday began the probe into
the killing of Haq and the Bilaspur village headman Nanhe Yadav
and his brother Suresh Yadav.
Four others - Rohit Singh, Guddu Singh, Om Srivastava and Gulshan
Yadav - have also been accused in the Haq murder case. Following
his name figuring in the FIR filed by Parveen, Raja Bhaiyya had
quit the one-year-old Akhilesh Yadav ministry.
While the chief minister has so far parried questions on the
likelihood of the arrest of Raja Bhaiyya, he said the law will be
allowed to take its own course and that since the CBI had been
handed over the case, it was for the agency to act further.
Azad Thursday demanded that Raja Bhaiyya be arrested for his role
in the killing of her husband. She also said that a bravery award
should be given posthumously to her husband and that the place
where he laid his life in line of duty should be renamed after
him.
