Union Minister of Coal Shri Prakash Jaiswal has demanded a CBI probe into the alleged murder of Deputy Chief Medical Officer Y.S. Sachan in the Lucknow district jail and that of a minor girl in Nighasan. Mr. Jaiswal said if the cases were not referred to the Central investigating agency then it would be construed as the State government's acceptance that there was no law and order in Uttar Pradesh.
The Uttar Pradesh government should quit if it was unable to run the administration, he told journalists here.
Hitting out at the Bahujan Samaj Party government, Mr. Jaiswal said that despite the Chief Minister (Mayawati) being a Dalit and a woman, the two categories were the most harried in the State. “FIRs are not registered and neither the Chief Minister nor the Ministers have ever visited the scene of crime,” he said here on Friday.

He assailed the State government's refusal to hand over the two cases to the CBI.
Mr. Jaiswal said that when the CBI nailed A. Raja and Kanimozhi in the 2G scam the agency was called impartial, but when a CBI probe was demanded into an incident in Uttar Pradesh then the investigating agency's credibility was questioned.
The murder of two CMOs and a Deputy CMO is a fallout of the misuse of National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) funds, he alleged.
