The Uttar Pradesh government on Friday recommended that the Central Bureau of Investigation will probe the death of Kanpur property dealer Manish Gupta.
Gupta died during a police raid at his hotel in Gorakhpur on Tuesday. A day later, his wife alleged that he died due to an assault by the police after he objected to their actions. In her complaint, she had named six policemen for allegedly murdering her husband.
So far, six officials have been booked for murder and suspended from the service. The police have claimed that Gupta died after he fell and injured himself in his hotel room.
“As per the instructions of the chief minister, a recommendation has been sent to the Government of India to initiate an investigation by the CBI,” the Uttar Pradesh Home Department wrote on Twitter.
The department also said that the case will be investigated by a special investigation team in Kanpur for the time being.
