IndiGo official’s murder: Dipankar Bhattacharya seeks CBI probe

Description

PATNA: CPI-ML (Liberation) general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya on Friday said the state government should recommend a CBI probe into the murder of IndiGo’s station manager at Patna airport Rupesh Kumar Singh, who was shot dead in front of his apartment at Punaichak here on January 12. Bhattacharya, who is here to take part in Saturday’s human chain in support of farmers, said he was shocked to know that the police were yet to make a breakthrough in the IndiGo official murder case. Taking a swipe at the state government for issuing a directive to initiate action against those making comments against ministers and bureaucrats on social media, Bhattacharya said it was a deliberate attempt to suppress the voice of the people. He appealed to all non-NDA political parties and social organisations to take part in the human chain to be formed from 12.30pm to 1pm on Saturday to protest the three farm bills recently passed by the Centre.
