LUDHIANA: Commissioner of police Rakesh Agarwal on Monday marked an inquiry into Rinkle murder case to ADCP-1 Pragya Jain.
The ADCP has further marked the probe to ACP (central) Waryam Singh.
Five days ago, Sunny Nai, a key accused, had released a video, saying he murdered Rinkle on the orders of Congress councillor Gurdeep Singh Neetu.
Since then, Rinkle’s family has been demanding a probe by an IPS officer.
On June 1, Sunny had released his videos on social media, narrating the incident and claiming he was roped in to execute the murder at the behest of the Congress coucillor.
Sunny had also questioned the SIT that gave a clean chit to Neetu.
The next day, Rinkle’s brother Mani Khehra gave a complaint to Agarwal, seeking probe by an IPS officer.
Jain said, “I have asked ACP (central) Waryam Singh to investigate the case.” Mani said, “We had demanded investigation by an IPS officer so that we could get justice.
But now the inquiry has been marked to ACP Waryam, whom we do not trust.
Earlier, too, ACP Waryam had conducted a biased probe due to which Neetu got a clean chit.
I will meet the ADCP and request her to probe the case.” In September 2018, Rinkle was assaulted to death at his house in Amarpura by a group of miscreants.
Rinkle’s family had alleged that he had a rivalry with Neetu, who got him killed.
In the case, Neetu’s son was also arrested.
He is out on bail now.
Neetu, who has been denying his involvement in the case, said, “As the matter is in court, I do not want to give any statement.”
