NEW DELHVIJJCIQIQW: The Central
Bureau of Investigation (CBI)
has booked former UP minister Raghuraj Pratap Singh
alias Raja Bhaiya for criminal
conspiracy and murder of UP
police officer Zia-Ul Haq.
The agency

which filed
four FIRS on Thursday
had
taken over the case following a
recommendation from the UP
government.
The government's hand had
been forced by the furore
over
the murder of Haq

superintendent of police and
Icunda circle officer
and the
demands of
his wife
Azad.
Parveen
Singh had to step down as
the minister after Azad accused
him of conspiracy and the UP
police booked him. Haq had
apparently taken action against
Sine close
associates to check
illegal mining and according to
his wife, perceived a "threat'.
DSP Z1a4JI Haq went to
Kunda's Balipur village after
receiving reports of a clash.
"The clash had begun after
Balipur gram pradhan
Nanhey Yadav had been
shot dead. Suspecting the
involvement of certain

peo-
Yadav's supporters had
attacked their houses.
When the local police
reached and tried to take
away Yadav's body for post
mortem, h
supporters
attacked the police as well
" Haq, meanwhile, reached
the village with his team to
control the violent mob. But
outnumbered by the attackers, the policemen accom
panying him escaped.
"Haq was beaten up and
shot dead.
"in the violence, Nanhey
Vadav's brother Suresh was
also killed.
Hence, the CBI would also probe
the action Haq took against
close associates of the former
minister.
"A team of investigators
would be reaching I{unda
tomorrow," said a CBI officer in
Delhi on condition of anonymity
The 10-member team would be
led by deputy inspector general
