Slain gangster's family demands CBI probe into encounter

The family members of slain gangster Anandpal Singh today refused to take his body, demanding a CBI into his encounter killing on Saturday night.
The body has been kept at the mortuary of the Ratangarh (Churu) Hospital.
A large number of people gathered at Singh's hometown, Sanvrad in Didwana of Nagaur district, to console the family members and demanded a CBI inquiry into the encounter which took place at a village in Churu district.
"The family has not accepted the body so far. Their main demand is a CBI inquiry into the encounter," Nagaur Superintendent of Police Paris Anil Deshmukh told PTI.

He said that several Rajput leaders had also raised the demand for a CBI inquiry before the district administration.
Meanwhile, 25 people were taken into preventive custody tonight to control law and order in the area, he said.
Seventy-five people were arrested yesterday when they attacked a police party and injured the SHO of Jaswantgarh police station during a protest against the encounter.
Anandpal, who had managed to escape from custody of police while being taken back to high security prison in Ajmer from a court in Nagaur in September 2015, had taken a shelter in a house in Churu.
