Principal quizzed in Professor's death case

Ujjain: The Madhya Pradesh CID probing professor H. S. Sabharwal's death has questioned the principal and another professor of Madhav College about the cancellation of college union polls on August 26, which subsequently led to the alleged manhandling of the deceased professor, official sources said here on Monday.

Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Vijay Raman, during his recent visit to the city in connection with the death of the professor, has questioned in detail college Principal L. N. Verma and Professor Jay Shrivastava about the cancellation of college union polls that led to the violent protests by NSUI and ABVP activists, the sources added.

Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh Congress spokesman K. K Mishra has demanded that the CID probe the cellphone records of the persons present at the meeting that decided to cancel the poll in view of the reports that deliberations of the meeting were allegedly ``aired'' through a cellphone by one of the participants.

The CID has already arrested ABVP's former office bearers Shashiranjan Singh Akela and Vimal Tomar and has identified four others for their alleged involvement in the murder case.

Earlier in the day, Sabharwal's wife told PTI that Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister has assured an impartial probe into the death of her husband.

`Show restraint'

Bhopal: Asking the ABVP to observe restraint while protesting the arrest of its leaders in connection with the death of the professor, Madhya Pradesh BJP on Monday said the law was taking its course as the Government was sincere about ensuring justice in the case. PTI
