Former DGP of UP for CBI probe into Mukhtar Ansari’s death
Lucknow: In a surprise move, former Director General of Police (DGP), of Uttar Pradesh (UP) Sulkhan Singh has sought a CBI inquiry into the circumstances that led to the death of Mukhtar Ansari in prison.
According to Kashmir Media Service, DGP Singh while talking to media has said that questions are being raised in people’s minds about how Mukhtar Ansari died suddenly.
“Mukhtar Ansari himself had also alleged that he was given slow poison and in such situation, the state government should immediately recommend a CBI investigation into this matter, so that the truth can come out,” Sulkhan Singh opined.
“Besides, the fear of murder was also expressed, that is why it is necessary for the government to clear its stand so that there is no doubt left. It is very important to get the CBI to investigate this matter at the earliest,” the former DGP said.
Replying to a question, he added that anything can happen because policemen can conduct fake encounters.
“Presently 250 policemen are in jail under punishment and some are under trial. What cannot happen when a policeman can kill? However, it is not right to link every policeman with this,” he said.
