Madhumita case: CBI grills Anuj

A day after Madhumita Shukla's mother and sister were brought face-to-face with murder suspect Amarmani Tripathi, the Central Bureau of Investigation has interrogated a student in the case.According to the CBI, Amaramani Tripathi tried to frame Anuj Mishra, an IIT student, in the murder case. Madhumita's ex-servant planted the story of her marriage with Anuj and a priest claimed he had performed the rituals. Since she was pregnant, it was alleged that Anuj had killed her. The police had a lead that the suspect had initials 'A.M.' and Anuj Mishra came under the needle of suspicion. His friends in IIT were questioned and his house was raided. His family too went through a traumatic period. Anuj has denied any relation with Madhumita and said he had only met her at her house on October 27 last year in connection with a poetry competition in IIT Kanpur. Now with Amarmani in CBI custody and most of the puzzle falling into place, Anuj confronted the former minister and tried to debunk the marriage theory. However, Mishra's testimony does not have a direct bearing on the murder investigation. Though Madhumita's family is helping the agency in collecting more information and important evidence, the CBI is still to get its hands on the man who actually committed the murder.
