Amravati killing: Navneet Rana alleged that Amravati's police commissioner Aarti Singh tried to pass the murder off as a robbery.
Amravati MP Navneet Rana today accused the city commissioner of suppressing the murder of a chemist whose throat was slit last month over supporting suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma's comment on Prophet Mohammad.
Ms Rana alleged that the city's police commissioner Aarti Singh tried to pass the murder off as a robbery. "After 12 days she's giving clarification on the incident... She first said that it was a robbery and tried to suppress the case. Enquiry must also be done against Amravati Commissioner of Police," Navneet Rana said today.
Umesh Kolhe, 54, was attacked and killed by two men on a motorcycle on his way back from work on June 21 in Maharashtra's Amravati city. The murder occurred a week before a similar killing in Udaipur.
The Independent Member of Parliament also said that she wrote a letter to Home Minister Amit Shah about the case, after which the National Investigation Agency (NIA) took action.
