Jaipur: The CBI has
quizzed two Rajasthan legislators over the past 10 days in
connection with communal violence in Bharatpur district September
last year which left at least 10 Meo Muslims dead and 21 others
injured, sources close to the agency said Friday.
Parliamentary secretary and Congress legislator from Kaman
constituency in Bharatpur, Zahida Khan, was summoned to the
Central Bureau of Investigation's Delhi headquarters and
interrogated till late Thursday, the sources said.
The Central Bureau (CBI) had earlier quizzed Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) legislator from Nagar constituency in Bharatpur Anita
Singh July 23.
Members of the Gujjar and Meo communities clashed in Bharatpur's
Gopalgarh village Sep 14 over a piece of land, with one group
claiming that it was for a burial centre and the other that it was
for a pond. It was alleged that three of the deceased were killed
in the police firing.
"The special CBI court in Jaipur had ordered an investigation into
the roles of Zahida and Anita Singh March 14. The advocates of
those people who have been arrested by the CBI in connection with
the violence had requested the court to initiate a probe into the
roles of some influential people in the area. The advocates
accused these leaders of provoking the local residents," said an
officer close to the investigations.
The officer said that the agency had served notices to Zahida and
Anita asking them to be present before the CBI for interrogation
in connection with violence.
"While Anita was quizzed July 23, a team of CBI officials
interrogated Zahida Thursday evening," the officer added.
The officer said the CBI will submit a report to the court on the
basis of the interrogation's outcome.
The CBI has so far filed a charge sheet against 15 people who were
arrested in connection with the violence.
