Kunda murders: Culprit nailed,Raja Bhaiya to get clean chit?

New Delhi, April 13: The police claim to have made a breakthrough in the Kunda triple murder case. The CBI on Saturday arrested deceased village pradhan Nanhe Yadav's son, Babloo Yadav, terming him as the mastermind behind the murders.

According to media reports, Bablooo confessed to having shot DSP Zia-ul-Haque. The cell phone of the deceased DSP has been recovered.

However, the reason behind the murders is yet to be ascertained.

Now, the question that arises is whether a clean chit will be given to SP leader Raja Bhaiya. After the murder of Balipur village head, Nanhe Yadav on March 2, the Kunda circle officer DSP Zia-ul-Haque had rushed to the village and was killed by a mob. Nanhey's brother, Suresh, was also killed.

Former Uttar Pradesh Minister Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiya had to resign owing to the inciden. The case was then handed over to the CBI as the slain officer's widow demanded so.

Zia-ul-Haq was killed after he reached Pratapgarh in Kunda, where the village headman had been shot. A mob reportedly cornered him and the policemen who were with him allegedly abandoned him. Zia-ul-Haq was shot during the clashes.
