Mother Demands CBI Probe for Son in High-Profile Murder Case

Raj Singh's mother, Jamwanti Singh, claims her son is innocent in the murder case of Chandranath Rath, prompting her to demand a CBI investigation. She insists that CCTV footage proves Raj was not in Kolkata. The police arrested Singh in Uttar Pradesh for Rath's murder, escalating tensions.

The mother of Raj Singh, a man arrested in relation to the murder of Chandranath Rath, aide to West Bengal Chief Minister, has proclaimed her son's innocence and called for a CBI inquiry. Speaking to PTI, Jamwanti Singh insisted that her son has been wrongly implicated in the case.

Jamwanti Singh, an employee in the Rasra post office, reported that both she and her son were taken by police while returning from Ayodhya. She further mentioned that her son was arrested and escorted to Kolkata by flight. She claims her son has never visited Kolkata and possesses evidence supporting his alibi.

Authorities, however, have traced 'digital clues and interstate links,' leading to the arrest of Raj Singh in connection with the brutal murder. No prior information was shared with the Ballia police on this arrest. The murder of Chandranath Rath has sparked significant political reactions and heightened tensions in the region.
