Kafeel Khan accuses BJP MP of hiring assassins to kill brother

New Delhi, June 17

Suspended BRD Hospital paediatrician Kafeel Khan on Sunday accused a BJP Parliamentarian of having hired shooters to kill his brother.

Khan accused BJP Member of Parliament Kamlesh Paswan and another person he identified as Satish Nangalia, owner of Baldev plaza, of having had his brother killed on June 10 over a land belonging to his uncle.

“BJP MP Kamlesh Paswan and Satish Nangalia, owner of Baldev plaza, hired shooters for this. Paswan has no personal enmity with my brother. My uncle has a piece of land that Kamlesh and Satish encroached upon in February. An FIR was lodged. They wanted the high court to stay their arrests,” Khan said at a press conference.

He accused the Uttar Pradesh Police of deliberately conducting shoddy investigations on “special instructions”, demanding that either the Central Bureau of Investigation or a high court judge should investigate the murder.

“It was promised that the culprits would be nabbed within 48 hours. It has been a week now but no action has been taken yet, no arrests have been made yet. It was very evident that UP Police was acting on someone's instructions. Their intention was clear,” he said.

“We don't want this to be investigated by UP Police.” Agencies
