Lucknow, May 23: The UP government recommended a CBI probe into the death of Karnataka-cadre IAS officer Anurag Tiwari after his family members met Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and expressed dissatisfaction over the handling of the investigation by the state police.
Anurag's family had alleged that he was murdered at the behest of corrupt officers as he was about to expose a scam in the department of food, civil supplies and consumer affairs in Bengaluru where he was posted as commissioner.
Post-mortem examination had indicated that Anurag had died of asphyxia but police had said that an SIT team probing the case was awaiting the test reports of his viscera and blood samples and heart to find the exact cause of the death.
