Bharatpur: Almost a
month after communal violence in Rajasthan's Bharatpur district
claimed 10 lives and left 21 others injured, the Central Bureau of
Investigation (CBI) started its probe and took statements of many
people over the past two days, police said Thursday.
People from the Gujjar and Meo communities clashed in Bharatpur
district's Gopalgarh town Sep 14 over a piece of land, with one
group claiming that it was for a burial centre and the other
insisting that it was for a pond.
"CBI officials arrived in Gopalgarh Wednesday and started
recording statements of the people concerned in the case," a
police officer, who did not want to be named, told IANS.
The officials also visited the nearby villages. "The records of
various FIRs filed with the police from both the sides have been
handed over to the agency," said the officer.
A team of Central Forensic Science Laboratory had recently
gathered forensic evidences from Gopalgarh. The state government
had ordered a CBI probe into the violence.
Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi had Sunday paid a surprise
visit to Bharatpur.
Gandhi, accompanied by union Minister of State of Home Affairs
Jitendra Singh, met the families of some of the men who were
killed in the violence.
The Congress party's state unit, police and district
administration officers were kept out of the loop and were
completely unaware of Gandhi's visit.
