New Delhi: In another setback to the Mayawati government, Allahabad High Court scrapped the police probe into the murder of former Lucknow CMOs Dr VK Arya and Dr BP Singh and ordered a CBI investigation.
The High Court also directed the CBI to start investigations all over again. Dr Arya and Dr Singh, both of whom served as CMO (Family Welfare) at Lucknow, were murdered within a span of six months. While Dr Arya was murdered on October 27 last year, Dr Singh was shot down while on a morning walk on April 2 earlier this year.
On behalf of the state government, additional advocate general Jaideep Narain Mathur also produced the order in which further investigations of both the murder cases have been referred to the CBI by the state government.
After perusal of these documents, the court reserved its order and directed the police not to proceed further in this matter. The court also asked the lower court concerned not to proceed further on the charge sheets pending before it.
The police after completing the investigations had filed the charge sheets of both the murder cases before the CJM court Lucknow.
Deputy CMO YS Sachan, who was named as the conspirator in Singh's murder, was also found dead inside the Lucknow district jail hospital on June 22.
