Shehla Mahsood murder: CBI quizzes BJP MLA Dhruv Narayan Singh

March 4, 2012

MASOOD

Bhopal, March 4: The CBI questioned controversial BJP MLA Dhruv Narayan Singh in connection with RTI activist Shehla Masood's murder on Saturday. The questioning that started at noon continued till late in the evening.

Singh was questioned over the soured love triangle involving him, Shehla and alleged key conspirator Zaheda Parvez, which the CBI suspects led to Shehla's murder.

CBI sources said that Singh was questioned earlier as well after his name had cropped up in the initial phase of the murder probe.

They said that suspicions over his involvement increased after the arrest of three accused, including Zaheda and the recovery of what sources claimed to be "clinching evidence".

Sources said that Singh was quizzed along with Zaheda, her assistant Saba Farooqui and Saquib Ali, a local goon accused of facilitating the killing, "to string together the evidence".


They said that after Shehla was shot dead on August 16 last year, her father had rung up Singh but he did not take the call. "He handed the phone to his friend and builder Sanjeev Gupta, who told the caller that the MLA was in a temple.

After a while, Zaheda rang up Gupta and told him that Shehla had been killed," a source said. The CBI has also summoned Gupta, currently out of town.

Sources said that Zaheda was allegedly jealous of Shehla for her proximity to Singh. "We have recovered certain evidence indicating the extent of closeness between Singh and Zaheda, from her office,'' the source said. In a related development, Zaheda's car, allegedly used to pay Rs 2 lakh to the killers has been traced. The car had been exchanged a few days back for another through a local car dealer.

May 12: A Madhya Pradesh Police sub-inspector was fined Rs 5,000 after he performed a daredevil act of balancing himself on two moving cars, copying the famous stunt from Ajay Devgn-starrer 'Singham'.

Manoj Yadav, the in-charge of Narsinghgarh police post in Damoh district, was also warned against any such daredevilry in future, police sources said on Monday.

Sporting shades as the hero of the cop drama film and wearing his police uniform, Yadav got the entire episode video-graphed, they said.

As the video of the stunt went viral on social media, senior police officials took serious note of it as it will send wrong signals to youngsters, the sources said.

Inspector General, Sagar range, Anil Sharma directed Damoh Superintendent of Police Hemant Chauhan to probe the matter.

After an investigation, Chauhan imposed a fine of Rs 5,000 on the sub-inspector and warned him not to repeat such mistakes.
