Shehla Masood’s killers still roams free
BHOPAL: Tuesday Shehla Masood was found murdered outside her residence just as she was leaving from home for Anna’s Rally. The investigations, so far, have yielded little apart from transfers of two top police officials. Medical and legal experts have confirmed that she was murdered.
Masood had filed so many controversial RTIs related to income tax details, about BJP Rajya Sabha MP Anil Madhav Dave and his NGO, as well as the chairman of the Chirayu Medical College and hospital Dr Ajay Goenka. In fact just recently, the Environment Ministry had ordered an enquiry against the Chirayu foundation for flouting environment laws.
On Wednesday Union Minister Jairam Ramesh wrote to the Madhya Pradesh state urging them to probe the murder of RTI activist Shehla Masood thoroughly, a year ago Masood herself wrote a letter to the state government, saying that she had received death threats.
Dr DS Badkur, Medico legal director, Madhya Pradesh said, “No possibility can be ruled out, but it the weapon was made in India and the bullet is of 8 mm.”
In the letter written to the state government she complained that she feared for her life and mentioned IPS officer Pawan Srivastava name.
Murder of yet another RTI activist has left many shocked. Probably the early warnings from Masood on possible threats were ignored by the state police. Now look what the investigation revealed.
