Bihar: Patna. Delhi High Court will hear the demand for an impartial re-investigation of the incident of murder of former Railway Minister Lalit Narayan Mishra at Samastipur railway station in Bihar 48 years ago. This petition has been filed by Vaibhav Mishra, grandson of Lalit Narayan Mishra. The court will hear this petition on May 16. A bench headed by Justice Suresh Kumar Kait listed Vaibhav Mishra’s plea along with an appeal by the convicts. After being listed in the court, independent India’s biggest murder mystery seems likely to be solved.
Agency failed to trace the killer
Lalit Narayan Mishra’s grandson has challenged the murder conviction and life imprisonment in his appeal. On October 13 last year, the Supreme Court had allowed Vaibhav to assist in the final hearing on the appeal of the convicts, after which the grandson of the former Union Minister moved the High Court. The grandson of the former Union Minister has said in his appeal that this matter should be investigated impartially and the culprit should be identified. In fact, till now the CBI has failed in the investigation to find the killer.
