The CBI on May 16 arrested the then Inspector General of Special Operations Group (SOG) of Rajasthan Police for the alleged fake encounter of Dara Singh in October 2006. In March this year, CBI had arrested four police officers for shooting Dara Singh, a criminal of Churu district, on the outskirts of Jaipur.
CBI sources said they were also investigating the role of former Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje in this case. Agency officials said they had arrested Poonachawmy, a 1991 batch IPS officer, for being part of the conspiracy of the encounter while being posted in SOG. Sources said more officials would be arrested soon. Press Information Officer of CBI R K Gaur confirmed the arrest. The shocked family of Dara Singh is however gradually losing confidence in the way the CBI is going about the case.
