CID Reopens Shukla Murder Case, Investigates Bihar Gangster Subodh Singh

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Bengal has reopened the murder case of BJP youth leader Manish Shukla, and is investigating the alleged involvement of Bihar-based gangster Subodh Singh. The case was initially dropped after a Barrackpore court acquitted Subodh in August 2023, but Shukla's father Chandramani has now requested a fresh investigation into his son's murder. CID officers have questioned Subodh's close aide, Anish Thakur, who is currently in jail, and are trying to connect the dots between Subodh and Thakur. The investigation comes after Mandal, a realtor and acquaintance of Subodh, reported receiving threats from the gangster and his associates.
