CBI Books Amrapali Group MD In 2014 Murder Case

Anil Sharma, managing director of the real estate developer Amrapali Group, and six other people have been booked by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with the murder of a man seven years ago.

The Patna High Court, which had mandated a CBI inquiry last month, directed the agency to take over the murder investigation. Sharad Chandra, who was the Balika Vidyapeeth's secretary at the time and lived on the university grounds in Lakhisarai, was fatally shot on August 2, 2014.

The local police conducted their initial inquiry before turning the case over to the Bihar Police's crime investigation department (CID) in October of that same year.

Usha Sharma, Chandra's wife, filed a petition with the Patna High Court in 2017 contesting the CID's actions. The Patna High Court ordered a CBI investigation into the case last month.

The deceased was forcibly removed from the Balika Vidyapeeth in August 2009 after Anil Sharma, the MD of the Amrapali Group, had usurped its trust with the aid of Rajendra Prasad Singhania, Praveen Kumar Sinha, Shyam Sunder Prasad, and Shambhu Sharan Singh, according to the CBI's FIR. Since then, there has been a dispute between the two parties.

Additionally, it was claimed in the FIR that Praveen Kumar Sinha and Shyam Sunder Singh opened a personal account using Balika Vidyapeeth money.
