Noted song writer Santosh Anand, demanded a probe by the sleuths of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), into the suicide by his son and daughter-in-law, who jumped before a train to end their life in Mathura on Wednesday evening.
However, the local police is trying to shield the culprits, as the victim besides naming several businessmen, social activists, had also held a director general rank police officer now posted in lucknow and DIG responsible for taking extreme step. Surprisingly, this DG rank officer is having a clean image and known to be an upright officer amongst his batch mate but allegations were made on him that he extorted huge money from the victim in a project as well as in fake job racket. SSP Mathura, Manjil Saini, when contacted to confirm the action taken on the suicide note, had claimed that she handed over a probe in the matter to circle officer of Chatta, Atul Srivastava, and action will be taken if charges made in the 10-page note has been found to be true.
