New Delhi: Jharkhand Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Vishnu Dayal Ram on Sunday wrote to Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh seeking a CBI query into the murder of Suraj Kumar Dubey, an Indian Naval personal from his constituency.
In his letter to the Ministry of Defence, the MP wrote in detail about how Suraj Kumar Dubey had come to his hometown in Palamu on January 2 and left for Coimbatore on January 30.
However, when the family members tried reaching the victim his mobile phone was switched off. Following no contact from Suraj, his family members on February 1 registered a missing complaint with the Chainpur Police Station.
On tracking the mobile number from the investigation done in the light of the report, his last location showed the metro station Meenambakkam Chennai - 60016.
The MP added that in another local inquiry, it was found that a taxi driver named Sridhar had dropped Suraj near NSG Camp, Oteri police station, three days after which, Suraj was found in 90 per cent burnt condition in Veljipada forest Maharashtra.
He died during treatment at Naval Hospital in Mumbai.
MP Vishnu Dayal Ram wrote that according to the statement given before his death, Suraj said at around 11 am outside Chennai Airport, three unidentified men abducted him in a white SUV and allegedly demanded a ransom of 10 lakh on January 30. They also kept him for three days.
Raising questions on the Maharashtra police, the MP asked why the force did not start looking for him immediately and how the naval personnel reached Maharashtra is still unclear.

The MP added that if he gets any time during the Question Hour in the Lok Sabha on Monday, he will raise the demand for a CBI inquiry in the Lok Sabha too so that the family of Suraj Kumar Dubey can get justice.
