Lucknow, July 06: Alleging a BSP MP and an MLC were involved in the killing of Dr YS Sachan, senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh today said the Mayawati government was shielding the masterminds behind the murder of three CMOs.
“First CMO Dr Vinod Arya was killed in October, 2010, then Dr BP Singh was murdered in April this year and now deputy CMO Sachan was killed inside the Lucknow district jail.
“All the three cases are related to each other and the materminds behind them are yet to be exposed,” Singh told reporters here.
The Congress general secretary alleged a BSP MP and an MLC were behind these murders and “they are being shielded by the chief minister’s office”.
He said now action had been initiated against Babu Singh Khushwaha and Anant Kumar Mishra who had resigned as ministers after Dr Singh’s murder in April.
Singh said only a CBI inquiry could crack the case and the Mayawati government should immediately recommend such a probe.
He said a jailor was transferred from Jaunpur a week before Dr Sachan’s murder but he was not suspended and the one on leave was suspended.
