Supreme Court closes proceedings against Tej Pratap Yadav in murder case
New Delhi, Mar 22 (IBNS) : The Supreme Court on Thursday closed proceedings against RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav's son Tej Pratap in the murder case of journalist Rajdeo Ranjan, media reports said.
The apex court disposed of the petition filed by Ranjan’s wife Asha Ranjan after taking into account the CBI statement that it did not find any material against the former Bihar health minister in connection with the case.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud considered the submission of Additional Solicitor General Aman Lekhi that CBI has not found any incriminating material against the Lalu’s son.
The top court, however, gave Ranjan's widow the liberty to get her plea revised if some incriminating material surfaces in the future.
Ranjan was gunned down by motorbike-borne criminals near the busy Station Road at Siwan in north Bihar on May 13, 2016.
