Mayawati ready for CBI enquiry in Madhumita`s murder
Lucknow, June 14: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati today offered to get a CBI inquiry instituted into the poetess Madhumita Shukla murder case if her family members make a request for it in writing.
She said that her government was in favour of an impartial probe but at the same time she wanted to ensure that no injustice was done to any one.
When told that the family members of the slain poetess
had expressed doubts over the impartiality of the CB-CID
probe, the Chief Minister said that she did not believe in
"whatever is said orally".
“If the family members of Madhumita made a written request
to the state police chief for a CBI probe, the government will
immediately recommend a CBI inquiry,” she said.
When pointed out that only two days were left for the one
month deadline she had set for the CB-CID team to complete the
investigation into the case, the Chief Minister said that she
did not want the inquiry to be done in haste and the time
limit given to the CB-CID would be extended if the latter so
desired.
