New Delhi: Congress MLA Malkhan Singh Bishnoi on Monday has been sent to judicial custody till January 16. Malkhan was arrested by the CBI in connection with the Bhanwari Devi abduction case after he surfaced for questioning.
The CBI on Sunday also grilled Mahipal Maderna's wife Leela Maderna and a Congress legislator's son in connection with the case.
Bhanwari Devi had gone missing from Jodhpur's Bilara area September 1. Maderna was sacked from the cabinet by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on October 16 over allegations that he featured in a sleaze CD with her and had a role in her disappearance. He was later arrested by the CBI December 2.
It was alleged that Maderna hired one Sahiram Bishnoi to kidnap the nurse. Sahiram then allegedly assigned the task to Shahabuddin, Sohan Lal Bishnoi and Baldev Jaat alias Balia.
The CBI has arrested the three alleged kidnappers Shahabuddin, Sohan Lal Bishnoi and Baldev Jaat, apart from Sahiram Bishnoi, his friend Umesharam Bishnoi, Bhanwari's husband Amarchand and Malkhan's brother Parasram Bishnoi.
The CBI is also carrying out raids in search of Malkhan's sister Indra Bishnoi.
In a CBI chargesheet filed in court earlier, Shahabuddin, Baliya and Sohanlal were charged with the abduction of the nurse with an intent to kill and criminal conspiracy.
