Registrar vigilance from Bilaspur High Court, reached Jagdalpur on Wednesday for truth finding in connection with the murder and suicide by City Superintendent of Police Jagdalpur Devnarayan Patel.
“Registrar vigilance Arvind Singh Chandel had visited Jagdalpur for conducting inquiry into the death case of CSP Devnarayan Patel,” informed Superintendent of Police Jagdalpur, Ajay Yadav talking with The Pioneer over phone, however he expressed complete ignorance over the inquiry conducted by the Registrar.
Meanwhile sources in the police department informed that the registrar had recorded statements of police officers who were present on the spot when the dispute between deceased CSP and ADJ broke out. The registrar also reportedly inquired about the conduct of ADJ.

Two children of the couple Poonam and son Aryan were also injured in the gunfire who have been admitted in Ramkrishna care hospital, Raipur.
Doctors here in the hospital informed that condition of both the children was out of danger however both children were in the surgical ICU till Wednesday evening. Meanwhile state government had ordered magisterial inquiry into the case and SDM Chandan Kumar would probe the case.
