Wife of Rinku also alleged that the CBI misguided him when she called them enquiring about Rinku. “They said Rinku was with them while talking on telephone but when I approached there when he didn’t reach home till late evening, the CBI officials denied that Rinku was them”, she blamed.
Baghel later also accused the police of tampering with evidence. Rs Rs Neither the Police sealed the spot nor it collected any substantial proof,’’ he said. He further demanded a high level probe by an independent agency into the matter so that the truth may come to public domain.
