"CBI should probe murders of all missing children"

Special Correspondent

LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav on Wednesday demanded a nationwide CBI inquiry into all murders of missing children.

He was talking to presspersons at the end of a Cabinet meeting here.

Mr. Yadav expressed anguish at the State being `singled out' for rough treatment after the Noida serial killings. Such incidents had occurred in Gujarat, Assam, Punjab and Hyderabad but the Centre kept silent, he alleged. He claimed that around 45,000 children had been kidnapped and killed in these cases.

He accused the UPA Government and the Congress of targeting Uttar Pradesh and the Samajwadi Party Government.

The main accused in the Noida case, Moninder Singh Pandher, was the son-in-law of a senior Congress leader from Punjab, he said, adding that his Government never attempted to shield any person involved in the crime.
