After receiving a clean chit from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with the murder of Kunda Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Zia-ul-Haq, former Uttar Pradesh Minister Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiya on Thursday said that he had been framed in the conspiracy.
Addressing the media here today, Raja Bhaiya said that the CBI has cleared his name after five months of rigorous interrogation.
"I was called to Delhi for a polygraph test (http://www.aninews.in/

"It's my bad luck that whenever something happens in Kunda I am blamed for it," he added.
Raja Bhaiya also said that the murder of Kunda DSP Zia-ul-Haq (
