Family Accuses Union Minister of Obstructing CBI Investigation into Ex-INLD Haryana Chief’s Murder

Nafe Singh Rathee’s family has accused the CBI of stalling the investigation into his murder, alleging interference by a Union Minister. During a press conference in Chandigarh, Bhupender Rathee, alongside his mother Sheila, expressed their dissatisfaction with the current pace and direction of the investigation nearly two years after the assassination.

Sheila Rathee, who is also a state executive member of the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), stated that her grievances are not directed at the investigative agency, but at those in power within the Central government. This statement highlights the family’s concern over potential political influence impacting the investigation’s integrity.

The continuing lack of resolution in a high-profile case, coupled with allegations of external pressure, raises significant questions about accountability and transparency in investigations involving politically significant figures. The Rathee family’s insistence on a fair and thorough inquiry underscores the ongoing tension between local political entities and central authorities.
