Chandigarh, March 6

Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij on Wednesday said the case of INLD leader Nafe Singh Rathee’s killing had been transferred to the CBI.

“In the INLD leader's murder case, our police have been taking action and two accused were arrested," he said.

The Home Minister said that last month he had assured the state Assembly that the murder case would be handed over to the central probe agency. “And we have transferred the case to the CBI,” he said.

Rathee and Indian National Lok Dal worker Jai Kishan were killed after multiple rounds were fired on their vehicle in Bahadurgarh in Jhajjar district on February 25.

Two men were arrested from Goa in a joint operation by the Haryana Police's Special Task Force, the district police and the Delhi Police's Special Cell in connection with the killing.

According to the police, a handler based abroad was giving the duo directions.
