the it should be probed by either the CBI or NHRC (National
Human Rights Commission).
The RJD team was told by the aggrieved family members
that the cops from Nagar police station had picked up Kumar
for a second time on January 11 for interrogation in a murder
case.
"They killed him in a cold blooded manner before
throwing his body in a field at Meenapur badhar near a railway

family members.
Meanwhile, the Additional Director General of Police
(ADG-headquarters) Ravindra Kumar and home secretary Amir
