The wife of slain Kunda DSP Zia-ul-Haque on Wednesday moved a special CBI court seeking quashing of the CBI’s closure report, in which the agency had given a clean chit to former U.P. Minister Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiya.

Parveen Azad moved her application in the court of Special Judicial Magistrate (CBI) Shraddha Tiwari through her counsel Khaliq Ahmad.

The court fixed October 1 as the next date for hearing.

On August 14, Ms. Azad had moved the CBI court for a copy of the agency’s closure report and other documents related to her husband’s murder. The documents were later provided to her by the agency.

On Wednesday, in her application, Ms. Azad again alleged that Raja Bhaiya and four others, named in the FIR filed by her, conspired and had her husband killed.
