Bhopal: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team probing the murder of RTI activist Shehla Masood in Bhopal has discovered that Masood's cellphone had been used to make at least four calls after she had been murdered. It turns out that the local police team which was investigating the case had made the calls.
Masood's family received an anonymous letter saying that the phone and the laptop and other possessions of Masood were in the custody of the police team. The letter says copies of the contents of her laptop had been shared with Inspector General Pawan Srivastava and others against whom she had filed an RTI application.
Masood's family fears that this information may now be used to thwart the investigation. Mr Srivastava has not yet reacted to this allegation.
The CBI team spent more than five hours at Masood's office on Tuesday, checking documents and other papers.
The Right To Information (RTI) activist Shehla Masood, who was also India Against Corruption's Madhya Pradesh chapter head, was shot in the neck in her car at her home in the Koh-e-Fiza area of Bhopal on August 16. It was after 18 days of her murder that the CBI took over investigations.
In her last interview, Shehla had accused BJP's state unit Vice President Anil Dave, Public Information officer Aruna Roy, BJP MLA Vishwas Sarang and IG Pawan Shrivastava of threatening her over her RTI applications. All of them have denied this.
