Allahabad, May 19: Claiming that the CB-CID probe ordered into Madhumita murder case in Uttar Pradesh would not be impartial as the department was under control of chief minister Mayawati, Samajwadi Party general secretary Reoti Raman Singh today demand a CBI investigation into the killing. "The CB-CID probe was aimed at sweeping the issue under the carpet", he said in a statement here.
Mayawati had ordered the probe and transferred Lucknow SSP only "to divert attention from alleged involvement of stamps minister Amar Mani Tripathi and others", he alleged.
The state CB-CID could not be expected to conduct an impartial probe as the department was controlled by Mayawati, Singh said.
He termed Tripathi's sacking as an eyewash and alleged that the step was taken following pressure from alliance partner BJP.
