Patna: While the police is struggling for clues in the murder of senior journalist Rajdeo Ranjan, his father Radha Krishna Chaudhary and Opposition parties on Sunday demanded a CBI probe into the incident.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday Mr Chaudhary, 75, said, “Everyone knows who conspired to kill my son. I want a CBI probe into the matter as I have no faith in the state police. I just want a free and fair investigation.”
Ranjan was shot from point blank range on Friday by unidentified motorcycle-borne criminals. According to journalists he worked with, Ranjan never discussed his professional problems with his family.
Later, Ranjan’s wife Asha Devi said, “After the murder of (BJP leader) Srikant Bharti two years ago, Ranjan had once mentioned that someone was threatening him.” BJP senior leaders also demanded a CBI investigation.
