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.

"Till now, nine bodies have been found in a well near a gunny bag godown at Gorrekunta area in the outskirts of Warangal city. Of the nine bodies, four were found on May 21 and the rest were found today. As six of the bodies belong to one family, it has led to suspicion," said Dr V Ravinder, Commissioner of Police, Warangal, while speaking to ANI over phone.

Md Maksood had migrated from West Bengal to Warangal 20 years ago. Since last December, he and his family members have been working in a nearby gunny bag manufacturing unit godown at Gorrekunta. After the lockdown, the family shifted from Warangal and settled down in the factory godown.

According to police, on Thursday noon when the unit owner Santosh came to the godown as part of his daily routine he could not find any of the labourers. Later, he discovered four dead bodies floating in the well.
