The Supreme Court on Thursday closed the proceedings against former Bihar health minister Tej Pratap Yadav, son of jailed RJD supremo lalu Prasad Yadav, in the murder case of a Siwan-based journalist.
The apex court had asked the CBI to investigate allegations relating to media reports featuring photographs and videos that showed Yadav, a former Bihar minister, along with two absconding accused, Mohd Kaif and Javed, who are currently in judicial custody in the Rajdeo Ranjan murder case.
A Bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud considered the submission of Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Aman lekhi that CBI has not found any incriminating material against the RJD leader. The Bench ordered closure of the proceedings against Tej Pratap and gave the slain journalist's widow the liberty to get her plea revised if some incriminating material surfaces in the future.
