Opposition Congress members created a din in the House on Thursday demanding a CBI probe into the murder case of cow shelter staff Sadhram Yadav in Kawardha district of Chhattisgarh.
The protesting Congress MLAs trooped into the well of the House raising slogans and the Speaker Raman Singh had to suspend all the opposition legislators.
Amid pandemonium in the House the proceedings were stalled for a brief period of time.
Congress legislators raised the issue during the Zero Hour and demanded immediate discussion on the issue which was associated with the constituency of Home Minister Vijay Sharma.
Home Minister Sharma backing the decision of the government said that the modus operandi in the Biranpur case was different from that of the Sadhram case.
A case under Unlawful Activity Prevention Act (UAPA) had been registered in the Sadhram case and appropriate agency would be engaged in appropriate time, he said.
Former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said neither proper investigation into the murder case was done nor adequate compensation was provided to the victim’s family. A protest was also ongoing by the Yadav community in Kawardha region demanding justice to the victim’s family, he said.
Congress legislators Ram Kumar Yadav, Devendra Yadav, Dwarkadhish Yadav, Anila Bhedia and Vikram Mandavi also demanded stern action against the accused and to handover the matter to the CBI.
