Bihar: SC asks CBI to conclude probe into journalist Rajdev Ranjan murder case

The Supreme Court has asked the CBI to conclude in three months its probe into journalist Rajdev Ranjan murder case in Bihar.  It has said that the accused shall not seek bail on the ground of non-filing of charge sheet in the murder case. 

The CBI teams had launched an operation to look for Mohammed Javed on Friday, another suspect in the murder of Siwan-based journalist Rajdeo Ranjan on May 13 this year.

Prime suspect Mohammed Kaif was in judicial custody after he surrendered in a Siwan court on September 21.

The agency hadset up a camp office in Siwan where relatives of Javed were called to locate the alleged sharp shooter, agency sources said. They said the teams have also gone to the residence of Javed and were looking for him at a number of other locations. The sources said here that a special team of forensic experts from CFSL will soon be reaching Siwan to further the probe.

The CBI had registered a case in the murder of journalist Rajdeo Ranjan on September 15 against unknown assailants.
