National People's Party (NPP) MLA Kirori Lal Meena today sought a CBI inquiry into the police encounter of wanted gangster Anandpal Singh saying that a large section of society was demanding a probe into it.
He said that members of a community are protesting to get the encounter investigated from CBI and Singh's body is yet to be cremated even after 16 days.
"If the encounter is not fake then there should be no objection in getting it probed by the CBI," Meena said.
