Mayawati orders CBI probe into CMO murders,health dept scam

Two state ministers Babu Singh Khushwaha and Anant Kumar Mishra had resigned on moral grounds due to the controversy.

“The state government decided to hand over both the cases to the CBI for further investigation so that the agency could go into the depth of deputy CMO Y S Sachan’s death,” an official spokesman said here.

The announcement came hours after the the state counsel told the Allahabad High Court,hearing a plea for handing over the two cases to the CBI,that there was no need for transferring the case to the agency as the charge sheet has already been filed.

The High Court asked the UP government to submit to it the charge sheet and the case diary along with the entire records related to the murder of two chief medical officers.

The spokesman said that the decision was taken to find out if there is any connection between the death of Deputy CMO Sachan and murder of two CMOs Arya and Singh.
