A special court on Tuesday will hear a plea filed by CBI seeking to conduct a polygraph test on former Uttar Pradesh food and civil supplies minister Raja Bhaiya in connection with the murder of DySP Zia-ul-Haq in the Kunda case. The former minister was questioned by the CBI in May with regards to his relations with Zia-ul-Haq and the minister has so far denied his role in the murder. The application was moved with his consent. [caption id=“attachment_860601” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Former UP minister Raja Bhaiya.

CBI sources, however, clarified that probe into the alleged role of Raja Bhaiya is still open and the agency might file a supplementary charge sheet if his role surfaces at a later stage. Haq was shot dead on 2 March in Balipur village in Kunda area of Pratapgarh district where he had gone to probe murder of village head Nanhe Yadav. Haq’s wife Parveen Azad had accused Raja Bhaiya of conspiracy after which he had to resign from the Cabinet on 4 March. With PTI inputs
