Sachan murder: HC gives two months’ time to CBI

LUCKNOW: The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court on Tuesday gave two months’ time to the CBI to complete investigations into the murders of two CMOs and a deputy CMO.

The court also fixed November nine for hearing an application seeking further time to complete investigations into alleged NRHM scam in the office of CMO Lucknow, Family Welfare.

A division bench comprising justice Pradip Kant and and justice Rituraj Awasthi passed the orders on the application moved by the CBI seeking more time to complete the investigations into murders of CMOs V K Arya, B P Singh and deputy CMO Y S Sachan.

The High Court on the PIL of an NGO had handed over the investigations to the CBI on July 27 with directions for completing them in three months’ time.

While Arya was murdered in October last year, Singh was shot dead on April two last.

Soon after, an FIR was lodged regarding financial irregularities in the National Rural Health Mission in the office of CMO Lucknow, Family Welfare.

Sachan was arrested immediately after allegations of irregularities in the department surfaced. On June 22, he was found dead in the Lucknow district jail in mysterious circumstances.
