HC orders CBI probe in CMO murders, Lucknow health scam


After the mysterious death of Deputy Chief Medical Officer Y S Sachan in a Lucknow jail, the Allahabad High Court today asked the CBI to also probe the murders of two of his former senior colleagues in Lucknow and complete the investigations within three months.

The order was passed by a Lucknow Bench comprising Justices Pradeep Kant and Ritu Raj Awasthi just a week after the Mayawati government had recommended a CBI probe into the deaths of Chief Medical Officers V K Arya and B P Singh and the health department scam of which the murders were believed to be a fallout.
The court directed the CBI to complete the investigation into both the murders within three months period.
The court on last Friday reserved its order on the pending PIL seeking direction for the CBI probe into the murder of two CMOs in the state capital.
In the last hearing, the chargesheet, case diary along with entire records related to police investigations in the murders were submitted on the direction of the High Court.
