New Delhi, September 02: BJP MP Tarun Vijay will be questioned by Madhya Pradesh police in connection with the killing of RTI activist Shehla Masood in Bhopal last month.
A police team from the state will soon visit New Delhi in this regard, the police said today.
“Although it has been decided to question Vijay in connection with Shehla’s murder, no date has been fixed for the visit of the police team to New Delhi,” Bhopal Range IG Vijay Yadav said.
Vijay, who is also spokesperson of BJP, said he was a “very good friend” of Masood and that he was ready to share with any probe agency whatever information he had.
Masood was shot at when she was in her car in front of her residence in the posh Koh-e-Fiza locality in Bhopal on August 16 when she was just about to head to a rally that was part of Anna Hazare’s campaign against corruption.
The Rajya Sabha MP said he and Masood had regularly exchanged notes and demanded that the culprits should be “booked and hanged.”
