Zahida wants Dhruv's wife to be made an accused

INDORE: Prime accused in the murder of RTI activist Shehla Masood, Zahida Pervez, has once again alleged that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Dhruv Narayan Singh was involved in the case. Claiming innocence, she alleged that Vandana Singh, wife of Dhruv Narayan Singh had called slain RTI activist just before she was shot dead in her car in front of her house.
"CBI should check the call detail of Vandana Singh and find out why she had called Shehla Masood just before she was shot dead.Vandana Singh should also be made an accused in the case," alleged Zahida while being escorted out of the Indore Sessions Court on Monday.
In reply to another question, Zahida denied naming Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh in connection with Shehla Masood murder case. "I have never taken the name of Digvijay Singh and never said that he is protecting Dhruv Narayan Singh," said Zahida.
Meanwhile, Indore sessions court which was hearing the case for the first time transferred the case to IVth additional session judge of special justice CBI, Anupam Shrivastav's court. Next hearing is scheduled for July 13.
Now trail will take place in court of Anupam Shrivastav and he will first listen the petitions filed by all five accused for the transfer of trail to Bhopal.
Zahida's lawyer Zahid Khan said while hearing the appeal for transfer of case sessions court observed that a similar case is going on in High Court wherein former Minister Kamal Patel is seeking the transfer of case to Bhopal. Final argument in Patel's case is scheduled for July 10 and the decision what ever will be applicable in Shehla Masood case as well.
"We will argue for the transfer of the case as IV additional session judge of special justice CBI has no jurisdiction for the hearing the case as sessions court of CBI is in Bhopal," said Khan.
