New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a Civil Judge from Haryana in connection with the murder of his wife in Gurgaon in 2013.
A CBI spokesperson said then Chief Judicial Magistrate of Gurgaon Ravneet Garg was arrested in an ongoing investigation of a case related to the alleged murder of his wife Geetanjali Garg under mysterious circumstances. Geetanjali's bullet-riddled body was recovered on July 17, 2013, at police lines in Gurgaon.
"A case was registered by CBI at the request of Haryana Government and after notification by Government of India," the spokesperson said.
She said CBI had taken up the investigation of the case, which was registered at Civil Lines police station in Gurgaon on July 20, 2013, against three persons on the basis of a complaint by the brother of the deceased.
"The arrested accused was produced in the Court of Special Judicial Magistrate, CBI Cases, at Panchkula (Haryana) on Thursday and was remanded to five days police custody," she said.
The CBI remained tight-lipped about the reasons for arresting Garg three years after it took over the investigation of the almost blind case.
Pardeep Aggarwal, the brother of the deceased, had alleged that even after spending huge sums on his sister’s marriage in 2007, her husband’s family ill-treated her and demanded expensive gifts and cash.
