Following increasing pressure, the Lucknow police on Monday filed murder case against unknown persons in connection with the death IAS officer Anurag Tiwari. The case was filed under section 302 of the IPC.
The police action came soon after the family of Anurag met Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and demanded a CBI probe. After the 20 minute meeting, Anurag's mother said the chief minister had given them a positive assurance.
Anurag, a 2007 batch IAS officer, was found dead in mysterious circumstances a few days ago near the VIP guest house in Lucknow. So far, police have remained clueless about the culprits and how the Karnataka cadre officer was killed.
His brother Mayank Tiwari said, “We are not satisfied with the way police have been probing the matter, so we decided to meet the chief minister.” Since beginning, the family has been alleging foul play in Anurag's death. According to them, the officer was about to expose a huge scam in Karnataka government’s food and civil supplies department in which he was working. The family had also alleged that Anurag was being pressurised by some senior government officers and politicians and had urged the central government about three months ago to change his cadre.
Anurag, who hails from eastern UP district of Behriach, had come to Lucknow after finishing his training from Mussorie and stayed in Meerabai Marg guest house.
