New Delhi: A delegation of 114 Opposition MPs led by Congress president Rahul Gandhi meets President Ram Nath Kovind, demanding a Supreme Court-monitored special investigation into justice BH Loya’s death.
Justice Loya, who was handling the Sohrabuddin fake encounter case, died in November 2014 in Nagpur. Political parties, including the Congress, later alleged he died in mysterious circumstance.
“114 MPs from 15 parties signed memorandum. The President gave us a positive response. Many MPs from both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha felt discomfort over it and also feel that the matter should be probed and an SIT (special investigation team) should be formed,” Congress president Rahul Gandhi said after leading the delegation to the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Many people in the country were uneasy over the circumstances surrounding the special CBI judge’s death, Gandhi said.
“We just want to have a proper investigation done by an independent structure that gives us the outcome,” Gandhi said.
